Welcome! Im Shayda- Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we safely reconnect with our nervous system with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful.

I work with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Through this work, we can reprocess the past and create lasting healing and wholeness in your life. As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being.

I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve.

I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. My clients have commented on my blend of warmth and support along with behavioral strategies. I offer evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies with a special focus on positive psychology and strengths-based health promotion. Finally, you will hear me say that this is a real relationship that should feel healing. Connection is important. I strive to provide the very best therapy and customer service to my clients. I want you to feel like my only client. I want you to feel comfortable and safe, and I will be present with you and use creative strategies- individualized to you - to meet your needs and help you feel better **the rest of the time, when you are not with me**. I want to empower. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/laura-m-anderson-williamsville-ny/800284 https://www.vagaro.com/lauraandersonphdlicensedpsychologist

My name is Kaitlyn Abreu, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in New York State. My pronouns are she/her/hers, I am multiply neurodivergent and Queer clinician who has experience working with individuals ages 6-56, all coming from varying backgrounds, identities, and reasons for seeking support through therapy. My therapeutic approach can be described as humanistic, client-centered, and eclectic, meaning that the interventions/modalities used in our sessions together are tailored specifically to you and your needs. Therapy is and should always be a collaborative process; whether you’re seeking support for specific symptom management, exploring aspects of identity, learning about communication styles & strategies, identifying what your “needs” might even be, or are seeking a consistent place for accountability to be heard and seen with compassion – it’s my job as your clinician to assist you in the process of self-exploration to identify next steps in your therapy journey.

I specialize in helping children and adults manage mood disorders, supporting individuals through major life changes, and assisting those dealing with depression, low energy, general anxiety, and social anxiety. I also work with clients facing challenges related to ADHD, panic attacks, and other mental health concerns. Additionally, I have experience helping clients with personality disorders develop healthy behaviors, enabling them to feel more comfortable and confident in themselves. Personal Philosophy: Mental health IS health and should be prioritized just as highly as physical health concerns like an injury or illness. If medication can help you feel like your best self, it could be a beneficial treatment option. However, medication may not be the solution for all mental health struggles. I love partnering with my patients to create a treatment plan that fits their personal needs. Whether that involves medication or focuses on other important areas like improving diet, sleep, and exercise, my goal is to empower each person to take control of their mental health journey.

Feeling like you need a safe space? Maybe you've felt pressured to hide parts of yourself and have struggled to connect with others, or you feel isolated and misunderstood.

I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need accommodations or are struggling with your mental health.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider? Having experienced the challenges associated with health issues and the limited access to care I experienced, I seek to create an equitable, safe space for all searching for support. What should someone know about working with you? I find that humor has its place in a quality therapeutic relationship-I want to hear about your interests, your moments of levity, and things that make you laugh-not just challenges. How do you continue learning and building new skills? I am constantly seeking out training opportunities. Currently I am exploring PhD options to further deepen my understanding of how to provide quality care.
