Heidi Shaw, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi, I’m Heidi Shaw. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adult clients struggling with life’s challenges such as grief & loss, relationship problems, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help you address these difficulties so you may experience more well-being and self-acceptance.
Specializations At-A-Glance
Our Sessions Are Focused On You
Our sessions will provide you with the comfort and safety to be yourself. I provide a space where you can be seen, heard, understood, and respected. This allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings. You will identify your needs and goals for therapy, and we will work together to address them.
As A Therapist, I Embrace These Philosophies
- I believe that you are worthy of love and care
- I believe that there is no shame in asking for help
- I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated
- I believe that loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, scars and all, is one of the most courageous things we can do

3 STEP PROCESS TO GET STARTED
01
When you reach out, you will talk to our Clinical Manager, Emily. Share what is going on for you, ask any questions you may have and if it is determined that we are a good fit, you will get scheduled for your first session.
02
Emily will gather information and send you an email to register for our client portal to complete intake documentation prior to our initial 50-minute session.
03
All online sessions are held via video, in which you will be sent a link prior to the appointment day/time. You will begin your healing journey with your therapist by establishing a connection first, sharing your story and discovering what your goals are. Therapy is an active process and unique to each individual.
