The season is changing and still nothing's changed. Every morning is the same. The alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button over and over, before finally tumbling out of bed. Why? Because facing the day is drudgery. You get all the necessary tasks done, but without enthusiasm, connection, or joy. The panic and fear are just icing on the cake. That voice in your head tells you, "don't bother; you'll never measure up". No one knows how hard it is to keep going. it doesn't feel safe to tell them. Where did the voice come from? When did it start? Too long ago to remember. One's for sure - nothing you've tried has worked.

Dr. Shamis’ clinical experience provides a safe space to target the exact cause of individual problems and formulate an elimination strategy. By precisely identifying the nature of personal thoughts and feelings associated with these problems, he facilitates a natural growth process within each person. This ultimately allows people to access their own capacities for wise self-direction, and improve the way they think about problems. Dr. Shamis is so successful because he effectively creates a permanent shift in perception of real events and relationships, and provides positive attitudes to live your best life!

Imagine being stressed about a test. Your heart is racing, your breathing quickens… And now imagine having that feeling constantly — 24/7 for no reason and every reason at the same time, or it’s that bad feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when something bad is going to happen. Except it’s all the time, and you never find out what the bad thing that’s going to happen is. It’s like the walls are closing in and you have no means of escape.

I’m here to help! Help yourself and start the healing process now by clicking on my website. You are here because you are suffering from the stressors in your life and you need a centered helper to guide you. I have made my life's work helping my clients deal with the problems life has thrown at them. I walked alongside my clients for over 20 years, to help them through their challenges. Grief and loss, childhood trauma, challenging life transitions like divorce, and health issues, as well as anxiety and depression are issues I can help you with. We will develop a plan that will help you to find the spring in your step once again!

You don’t want your trauma to define your life. And in fact, you spend a tremendous amount of time trying to stop the trauma from controlling you. But somehow the more you try to push it away, the stronger hold it has on you. You might tell yourself, "I should be able to fix it on my own", "I'm weak", or "It's my fault." Unfortunately, when you have asked for help, people let you down, so it feels safer to just rely on yourself. You want to feel connected again, but it seems like you've tried everything and nothing helps.

Are you someone whose life has been impacted by infidelity or compulsive sexual behaviors ? Are you feeling like your world just came crashing down and find yourself in a whirlwind of emotions that include shame, guilt, anger, grief, or anxiety, ? If so, you may be experiencing the devastating effects of “Betrayal trauma" and I am here to help. As a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, I have received intensive training to work with betrayed partners helping them to recognize triggers, develop healthy coping skills and guide them in their healing journey.

My goal is to help every client lead a more fulfilling life. Throughout my life, I have experienced a journey of self-exploration and growth that led me to transition from the corporate world to my passion, counseling. I am inspired to help others discover their best self by gaining insight into thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of reaching their full potential. By engaging in self-exploration through the process of therapy, we can improve how we feel about ourselves which translates into a healthier and happier life for ourselves and those close to us.

I enjoy working with teens and adults from all backgrounds! I usually connect well with people who had developmental or complex trauma in childhood, as well as young adults struggling with the transition to "adulting." I have experience helping with low self-esteem, general anxiety, social anxiety, chronic illness, codependency, trauma, and depression. I believe we all go through challenges in life and need to work on our mental health to reach our full potential. You can do it, even when it's scary! You are the expert on your own life and have more strengths than you realize! I would be honored to meet with you.

Hi, I'm Lauren Shavers, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide a caring and safe environment for children, teens, adults and families who may be experiencing difficulties such as life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional/behavioral dysregulation, and relational issues.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, families & children affected by a wide variety of concerns. These include depression, anxiety, chronic stress, relationship issues, communication struggles, grief/loss, & trauma. Additional areas of need specific to children include: Parent-child relationship/attachment concerns, behavioral issues, developmental delays & adjustment to life changes (e.g. divorce, relocation). When working with children, I utilize a play based approach to provide a safe environment where they can process their feelings & experiences in a developmentally appropriate way.

My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through challenging times and find a sense of peace and fulfillment in their lives. I work with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, work-related and relationship issues. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, focusing on understanding the unique needs and goals of each individual I work with. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences with honesty and vulnerability. I am also Bilingual (Yo Hablo Espanol)!

While experiencing pain is a part of the human experience, long term suffering does not have to be. Life brings with it a rich and vast set of experiences which can include complex and confusing family dynamics, navigating relationships, death of a loved one or an animal, an end of a relationship or friendship and existential questions around who we are, what our purpose(s) are in life and why we matter. For some people these existential questions and the emotions that accompany them have come closer to awareness in the face of climate change.

My ideal client is motivated to change, but struggling to find the right path for them. I specialize in life transitions. I work best with an individual that wants to improve their ability to have healthy relationships. This might mean they need to work on figuring out their own needs first. I like to develop a connection and help people learn to change their cognitive filters to help shift their emotional well-being. My clients tell me they feel cared about and appreciate my sense of humor. Some have said they feel like they are talking to a friend that is objective and only has their best interest at heart.

Therapy is an interesting thing - many people have preconceived notions of what therapy is or should be. Therapy, to me, is simple. You have some issues in your life that are bothering you - maybe you feel down, maybe you can't get your relationships to work. Everything that you've tried hasn't been helpful or, ultimately, hasn't gotten you where you want to be. That's where I come in. I can help you pick up your issue, turn it to an angle that maybe you haven't seen yet, and brainstorm new ways to address it.

Have you tried therapy before, but found it draining or less than helpful? Many individuals engage in therapy only to address symptoms, without addressing their root cause. My primary objective is to create a safe place for clients to explore their past and present in order to move into their future with confidence. My authentic nature and strengths-based approach help me build rapport and find buy-in with clients who have difficulty opening up, as well as with those who struggle to see themselves making positive changes in their lives.
