Colleen Shaler, MSW, LCSW

I have worked in the field of mental health counseling for more than a decade, though I view myself as having a lifelong passion for, and personality trait in helping others. It is inspiring and an honor to walk alongside individuals who are willing to vulnerably share their life experiences.

Growth, development, and learning are constantly changing as we age; It’s inevitable. In a fast-paced world it can be so easy to get caught up in events without giving time to feel the magnitude of the emotional experience. It is my primary focus to help the client and family achieve personal success by uncovering impactful, and at times emotionally provoking childhood experiences. As we lean into the curiosity of how these experiences shape the current state of functioning, the aim is to achieve a consistent state of balance, and forward-thinking interpersonal growth.

Paired with a Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Emotion Focused, Attachment and Strength-Based approach, I will work as your clinician to help advocate for empowerment, opportunity, and choice. Together we can develop clarity, effective communication skills, self-care routines, as well as identify strengths, and implement resources for a more meaningful life experience.
