MSW, RSW, Clinical Specialist
Hello! I'm Rea Shaw. I am a Registered Social Worker in private practice with nearly 20 years of counseling experience. Prior to opening my practice, I spent many years working in women’s shelters, and I hold a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University.
I work with individuals, couples, children, and youth. My practice is trauma-informed and strengths-based, meaning we will focus on your resilience while tailoring therapy to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches that have proven highly effective over the years, including Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Anxiety & Depression
Grief, Loss, & Stress Management
Self-Esteem & Parenting
Domestic Violence & Relationship Issues
Outside of my practice, I love spending time with family and friends, reading, walking, sailing, dancing, cooking, and seeking out new adventures.
If you feel we might be a good fit, please get in touch. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.
