Colleen Carey Shinners

I am a social worker by training, psychodynamically based and informed by cognitive behavioral therapy and spiritual philosophy. I approach therapy with compassion and practicality. It’s a collaborative process where we move toward what you want in your life, while letting go of the things that no longer serve you. I aim to encourage you on your path, giving you space to feel and to gain insight from your human experiences. Ultimately, I want to help you feel better, empowered to be in the world, trusting your intuition and coping skills. This work is fluid in nature, shifting based on what resonates with you. I recognize that the human experience is painful, and we can all benefit from building awareness of our personal wounds and honing skills to live with them. It is in this spirit that I practice psychotherapy with all ages. I continue to study and implement best practices in psychotherapy as well as complimentary modalities such as energy work and yoga. Part of being a whole-hearted human is having the courage to be vulnerable and live an authentic life. Psychotherapy is a tool in your pursuit of living with integrity, and it’s an incredibly brave act. I commend you for contemplating what this might look like for you, and I invite you to connect with me if my message resonates with you. Thank you!
