Our lives are a series of choices, but our past experiences and natural tendencies sometimes complicate our journeys. Therapy helps manage emotions, behaviors, relationships, and wounds so that a person can gain footing on a path they can be proud-of. The combination of support, guidance, and personal empowerment gained in therapy helps people get from where they are to where they want to be.

Services
Many of my clients are teenagers and preteens dealing with a wide variety of psychological issues. With teenagers and pre-teens, I tend to utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral (CBT) techniques.
Research has found that outcomes are better with a group therapy component (to practice interpersonal skills, mindfulness, healthy thinking, and distress tolerance in a controlled environment), so I also offer a group for teenagers with rolling, on-going enrollment.Family therapy/parent consultation is often indicated when working with teenagers (and minors in general).

Couples therapy and workshops with Dr. Shiels provide you with the skills to shift the dynamic of your relationship from disconnection to fully understanding, respecting, considering, and valuing one-another. Imago Relational therapy, a large component of Dr. Shiels' approach, not only helps couples and parents communicate more effectively, but helps them fully and deeply understand each person's sensitivities and needs.
