I am a board-certified, Registered Art Therapist and Licensed Counselor with experience working with children, teens, and adults. Many of my clients need help dealing with feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem. Using evidence-based practices, I help my clients gain understanding and develop skills to overcome a crisis or personal challenge. People develop assertive communication skills, self-regulation skills, and time-management skills and build self-confidence in the process. By guiding clients toward developing positive thoughts and behavior shifts, they can challenge old thought patterns and see results.

I am honored to support clients as they navigate the process of change or support them as they consider changes that may improve their quality of life. I see therapy as helping a client climb a mountain. No one has ever climbed your particular mountain, but maybe together we can find different routes.

My name is Dr. Nashat Shams, and I'm a physician and a Health Psychologist who has worked in this industry since 2005. I have vast experience in counseling individuals with diverse cultural backgrounds and with different age groups. I don't treat diagnoses but clients with compassion and empathy. My interventional approach is CBT, Mindful, and TEAM-CBT. Due to my family background, I'm sensitive to and respectful of various cultures and social backgrounds. I started the journey as a physician and finally became a Ph.D. clinician as I found that the human body cannot be treated without having a healthy mind.

With intention and caring, in a non-judgmental environment, I aim to help you explore the parts of yourself that are giving you unease and that may be intimidating to explore, or perhaps to find that hidden confidence inside to exalt your inner potential. We often carry many different identities within ourselves: parent, child, lover, friend…it can be hard to navigate and accept different roles we play.

Each day comes with its own challenges and some of these challenges are heavier than others. I believe that sharing in each other’s challenges is in itself healing. As a life-long social worker, I have experienced much satisfaction in seeing hope restored and lives improved.

In a world where we lack so much control, regaining our sense of self is so important. My goal is to help individuals learn about their mental health and start to take the necessary steps to improve their quality of life. I believe a person cannot truly begin to grow unless they are able to connect with their therapist and understand how their mental health concerns affect their lives. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2020 with a focus on Children, Youth, and Family Services.

Do find yourself constantly dissecting and analyzing your experiences, trying to make sense of them intellectually? And it leaves you feeling...Like a burden to others? Like you are alone? Pretending everything is fine? And here's some truth... your feelings are valid, but not representative of reality or a reflection of you! You don't have to pretend with me as we explore your story- a place where your unique experiences are held without judgement and understood.

I believe that we are each influenced not only by our upbringing and families of origin, but also by the political and economic structures in which we live. For many of us, this means experiencing racial, economic, sexual and gender-based oppression, which impacts both our mental and physical health. As a working class member of the transgender community, I know how harmful it can be to live in a world that feels like it was built against you. But you are not alone in this. Together, we can work to make the world a safer, calmer, happier place for you.

I am a passionate healing professional who believes healing happens differently for everyone. I believe healing is a collaborative process in which curiosity, openness, relationship, and patience remain at the partnership's core. I explore creative and anti-oppressive practices, which create space for trauma narratives to take unfiltered shape and traditional modalities. I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy. I often try and weave humor in whatever modality being used.
