Richard shaw, LMFT & LCAS
It all started nearly a decade ago when…
My wife and I sat down to talk about the future that both of us will drive towards. I myself had the strong urge to aid others in discovering their own passions, goals, and relationships. Perhaps most importantly, I wanted to enable my clients to see themselves for the unique, powerful, and gifted people they are. Through my diverse experiences traveling to many different countries, cities, and cultures, I have found that no one solution is perfect for even similar circumstances. Every person has a fantastic solution to their problem for which they are only able to enact.
With that mindset, I have a passionate belief in strength-based approach in which no topics are out of bounds. I am comfortable with all forms of struggle. Through therapy, I will challenge all of my clients’ personal truths about the world and their relationships. My belief is that good therapy is not when a therapist tells you how to live your life, but uncovers the tools in which you already have to have to chase the life you want to live.
