Welcome, and thanks for looking! I'm excited to begin your counseling journey with you. My role as your therapist will be to not only help you feel safe and supported, but also gently challenge you when appropriate. I am especially eager to work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationship troubles, body image, LGBTQ+ related themes, and difficulties related to life transitions. My primary approach to counseling is very relational. I believe that trusting your therapist is the pinnacle of what makes therapy work. One of the best parts of my job is hearing someone say "I couldn't wait to talk to you about this!" I want our work to feel collaborative and tailored to your individual needs as much as possible.

Jessica Shaw, MS, RD, LDN earned her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of New Hampshire where she got the chance to provide support for peers with eating disorders under the Health Services department. She then went on to complete her master’s degree in Nutrition and Health Promotion at Simmons University. Alongside her master’s program, she also completed her Dietetic Internship through Simmons in the Eating Disorder track where she gained experience at Monte Nido, The Renfrew Center, and several outpatient practices specializing in eating disorders. Jessica worked full time at Walden Behavioral Care’s residential eating disorder program, a 24-hour level of care, throughout its transition to its newer 82-bed facility. There, she treated all ages, genders, and types of eating disorders with an individualized approach. Jessica takes a firm, supportive stance with her clients and has been known to give just the right amount of push while working with her clients to set realistic goals. She utilizes various counseling styles in her sessions including motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Enhanced (CBT-E), and the Family Based Treatment (FBT) approach for adolescents. She then went on to work outpatient in a local private practice for several years before pursuing private practice on her own. In her time outside of work, Jessica loves finding new restaurants to try out and enjoys spending time at the beach. She has also been a figure skater her whole life and has been a coach for over five years, sharing her love for the sport.

You may be a student who is doing your best to keep up with classes, work, relationships, and other expectations, while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you put a lot of pressure on yourself, have difficulty slowing down, or keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns with family, friends, or partners. You may also be navigating cultural or family expectations while trying to figure out what you want for yourself. I work especially well with students who are thoughtful, self-reflective, and interested in understanding themselves more deeply. In therapy, we can look at what is contributing to your stress, how past experiences may still affect you, and what might help you feel more grounded and confident in your choices. My style is warm, collaborative, and active—I won’t just sit back and listen, but will work with you to make sense of what is happening and find practical ways forward. I have 15 years of clinical experience, including nearly eight years working with college and graduate students at the Brandeis University Counseling Center. I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, academic stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, perfectionism, and cultural adjustment. I am bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you are already carrying a lot. Feeling comfortable and understood matters. If this sounds like what you are looking for, I welcome you to reach out and see whether we might be a good fit.

I am an actively engaged therapist using a variety of therapeutic perspectives including cognitive behavioral, relational and family systems. I have a warm/compassionate approach, with a keen ability to recognize and address patterns that may be impacting clients capacity for growth and healing. I enjoy working with individuals around a variety of life transitions or relationship issues. As a POC provider, I am uniquely situated to help those who identify as BIPOC.

Many of the people I work with are men who have spent years focusing on work, family, and responsibilities while putting their own needs on the back burner. From the outside, they often appear successful and capable. Internally, they may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, self-doubt, or a growing sense that something in their life is no longer working. Some are facing career challenges, questioning their direction, or feeling stuck despite their best efforts to move forward. Many have become accustomed to handling problems on their own and find it difficult to ask for support, even when they know something needs to change. Others struggle with confidence, social anxiety, relationship stress, or uncertainty about what comes next. Therapy can provide a space to gain clarity and move forward with purpose. My approach is practical, collaborative, and strengths-based. Together, we work to understand the challenges you're facing, build on the resilience you already possess, and develop effective strategies for lasting change. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition or trying to get back on track, meaningful progress is possible.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registerd Drama Therapist who has been practicing in community-based mental health for 3 years with additional work completed in inpatient hospital and school-based settings.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, creative, and compassionate with an emphasis on expressive and integrative, person-centered modalities. I combine techniques like Play Therapy, Drama Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and traditional talk therapy to help you heal from past experiences, develop new coping skills, and increase your understanding of yourself. Starting at our first call, you will be in the driver's seat! I strive to foster a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing while secure enough to honor your needs. From there, we’ll co-create a space that aligns with moving toward your goals!

I work best with high-functioning adults and students who seem put together on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out on the inside. Many are caregivers, first-generation professionals, or cycle-breakers navigating pressure, perfectionism, family expectations, or relationship stress. They’re thoughtful and motivated for growth. They want practical tools to manage stress and set boundaries, while also understanding deeper patterns that keep them stuck. If you’re tired of just surviving and ready to feel more grounded and intentional, we’ll likely be a good fit. Therapy with me is warm, culturally responsive, and focused on helping you build skills and create real, lasting change.

People make the decision to engage in therapy for a multitude of reasons, all of which are valid. Some people may be ambivalent about making changes in their lives, while others might feel eager and ready to start the process. Regardless of where you find yourself on that continuum, I am here to support you. Although my background has mainly been focused around eating and body image, I see clients who are experiencing a variety of concerns: relationship issues, anxiety/depression, life transitions, unhappiness, etc. Prior to private practice, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students at Harvard University Counseling and Mental Health Service, with a specialty in supporting student-athletes and individuals with eating and body image concerns. I have also worked in psychiatric inpatient programs as well as eating disorder treatment programs. My therapeutic style is integrative, which means that our work together will draw on various approaches determined by your concerns and goals. My hope is for us to build a trusting relationship that will allow for honest reflection, helpful challenge, and ultimately positive change so that you may be able to lead a more fulfilling life.

Perhaps you landed here because you’re not just managing to do lists, but fighting that voice in your head that tells you you’re doing it all wrong, and that you’re not good enough.

Sometimes the ways we learned to survive are the very things now keeping us stuck. If you’ve found yourself overthinking, constantly on edge, emotionally shut down, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or feeling like you’re carrying experiences your body never fully got to process, you are not alone! Therapy to me is not about judgment, fixing you, or forcing quick answers. It is about creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood while we begin making sense of what your mind and body have been holding. I offer trauma-informed, relational therapy grounded in evidence-based practice & deep compassion. Integrating ACT, IFS, and somatic approaches, I help adolescents and adults navigate complex trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, women's issues, identity exploration, and family transitions, including divorce and high conflict dynamics. As an MSW clinician with a background in psychology, criminal justice, trauma-informed advocacy, and mental health research, I bring clinical training and genuine humanity to my work. Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about understanding yourself with more clarity, compassion, and safety so you can live with greater freedom and connection!

My work is relationally based, and I additionally integrate the approaches of Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which are both mind/body modalities. These approaches have been transformational for myself and many clients I have witnessed because they offer an orientation of radical openness and compassionate inquiry about all parts of your experience.
