Cynthia Shaw, PsyD

I am a compassionate, genuine, and supportive clinician that focuses on aiding clients in increasing insight, self-understanding, and meaning. I work well with individuals struggling with anxiety or existential angst, grief, and low self-esteem and identity development. I also work well with those who struggle relationally and who find themselves experiencing loneliness and difficulty connecting. I have additional training in the areas of psychosis, trauma, and judiciary issues.

My approach is direct, client-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed. I practice from an Existential and Philosophical perspective, and utilize Experiential and Relational Processing. I incorporate aspects of ACT and Mindfulness, along with compassion, humor, humility, and here-and-now relating.

I value the therapeutic relationship above all and embody open presence, transparency, and collaboration in creating a safe and supportive environment. I emphasize personal choice and responsibility, creativity, love, and authenticity. I welcome you to reach out to assess goodness of fit so that we may embark on your therapeutic journey together!
