My speciality is working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment, interpersonal relationships, and exploring their identity. I value my ability to aid people in processing their lived experiences and navigating how to manage the harder parts of life more effectively. I believe people want to be understood ... we want to have a space where we can share the scary or uncomfortable parts of ourselves in order to understand ourselves better. I believe people need a space to process the harder parts of life to not feel so alone and to work toward living more happily. I hope I can provide you that space.

Feeling stuck, sad, lost, overwhelmed, drained, or confused? Repeating the same patterns and want things to change but don’t know where to start? Let’s be honest, sometimes life can be great and sometimes life can really suck! Dealing with day-to-day struggles or past hurts can be emotionally taxing and often prevents us from being the person we want to be and live the life we want to live. The good news is you don’t have to navigate life’s complexities alone. My goal is to assist you in meeting your practical goals leading you to a more manageable and fulfilling life you can find enjoyment in.

I bring a warm, open-minded, authentic presence to therapy. My practice is based on person-centered principles of unconditional acceptance and respect. Maybe you’re at a crossroads in your life, feeling stuck in patterns and moods that no longer serve you, or ready to process some trauma or grief. Whatever your goals are, I'm here to support you. As an EMDR trained therapist, I am especially mindful of the ways that difficult experiences can impact your relationships and how you feel about yourself.

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.

I am a therapist who helps adults and couples who are struggling with life’s hurtful problems: single parenthood, relationship conflicts, divorce, difficulties at college, depression/anxiety, a partner or parent’s alcoholism, mental illness in the family, stress at work, news of a serious disease or financial reversal, caring for aged parents, overcoming a traumatic childhood, “empty nest syndrome,” the special pressures on military families, and so forth.
Our work together would begin by focusing on the here-and-now, so that you can experience some immediate feelings of being heard and of moving forward.

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.

Change is a major source of stress and life is full of change. I believe one of the most helpful applications of therapy is to help clients deal with the changes they experience and incorporate them into their lives-children growing up and leaving home (the client might be the parent or the child), relationship changes, job-related change, dealing with death, or any other changes that challenge you. I offer a safe place to express your feelings about the changes in your life and strive to be a non-judgmental companion through that process.

On the outside you have it all together, but deep down you carry a secret experience that knocks the wind out of you every time you remember it. The sexual trauma you experienced has robbed you of joy, freedom, and vitality. You have people in your life who you care about, but the relationships feel distant and detached. You can’t remember the last time you had a good night’s sleep because the memories seem to loom continuously. You remember some of the goals you used to have, but fear, anxiety, and insecurity stop you from pursuing them. It’s time to get your life back, and I want to help you get there.

Life is full of transitions and they can be extremely difficult. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged and like nothing will ever get better. Even when the transition is your choice - like a new job, going back to school or having a baby, it can feel like you will never settle into a new normal. That can be even more challenging when the transition is not your choice - like divorce, chronic illness, struggling with infertility, or trauma and loss. Transition can be even more overwhelming when it feels like you are going through it alone and don't have any support.
