Kalyani Shah, LCSW

My name is Kalyani Shah and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For the past 20+ years, I have enjoyed working with adults, children and their families to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and work through their problems. I have found that my approach is a good fit for all ages, but I do have a speciality in working with TAY (transitional aged youth 16-24 yrs) and children dealing with life challenges. I am also certified in CBT for trauma and DBT work. With my experience of working in a variety of settings (schools, psychiatric hospitals, community and clinics) and populations my hope is to help you be able to work through whatever you are dealing with so you can live a happier and healthier life. I decided to become a therapist because I have always known that I enjoyed helping people. It didn't matter if it was feeding the homeless, volunteering at the hospital or helping a friend. I always had a passion to help others and give back to the community. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, supported and empowered. Together, we will identify your strengths, explore challenges and develop practical strategies to improve emotional well being, strengthen coping skills and support meaningful personal growth.
