David Shields is the perfect blend of compassion/ emotional support AND practicality. While kind and totally non-judgmental, he will also seek to gently move you along toward solutions... He is the real deal.
– J. B.
For over 20 years I have worked with clients in a variety of public and private settings. Some of the challenges I have helped clients work through include grief, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, men’s issues, family conflicts and difficult child custody proceedings. I have provided therapy for clients facing the daily challenges of living with a variety of mental disorders. I also provide a safe environment for clients in the LGBTQ+ community to deal with a variety of life challenges complicated by systemic and societal prejudices.
