Kelly Shaw, PLPC Child & Adolescent Therapist

Teen struggling with anxiety or depression? Child with big, uncontrollable feelings? Are the parenting tips on social media not helping? Understanding the complexities children and adolescence face drives my passion as a therapist. In my office, children and teens can come as they are and be fully themselves. I use Play Therapy to engage children, creating a space for growth. I incorporate TheraPlay to support families in fostering connections and building resilient bonds. No matter the age, littles or teens, my approach is rooted in genuine connection, aiming to build trust and understanding in every therapeutic relationship.

Taking the step toward therapy is courageous. I understand it can be daunting, but I’m here to support you and your family. Your well-being matters, and I’m committed to creating a safe, empathetic space for you to explore and heal. If you’re ready, I’m here to listen whenever you feel comfortable reaching out.
