Helen Shields, LICSW

"Hi, I’m Helen Shields, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I support individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I also work with parents and families to better understand childhood development and strengthen relationships at home. I’m passionate about helping you reclaim your sense of self and feel more confident and grounded in everyday life.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.

I’ve been privileged to work with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. Healing looks different for everyone, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, with empathy, respect, and support. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, I’d love to connect and walk alongside you on your journey."
