Hi, I'm Kim. I have worked with people across the age span, individually and in families, for the past few decades. I am currently working with people who are interested in finding ways to better cope with strong emotions, complex trauma, mood disorders and building stronger connections in their relationships. I have a long history of working with children, teenagers and young adults in particular and am often described as conversational, humorous and creative in my approach. I believe in being transparent, flexible, nonjudgmental and creating safe spaces where people feel heard and connected.

Bilingual Services (Français & English) J'offre mes services en français aussi. Whether it is to develop skills, increase self-awareness, or to explore, process emotions, obstacles, past traumas, and painful patterns holding us back or keeping us stuck. Psychotherapy offers a safe sanctuary for healing, an opportunity for exploring oneself, & a unique place of freedom and support just to be.

As a queer non-binary psychologist, I combine my professional and personal experience in my work with clients. I work primarily with 2SLGBTQ+ adults experiencing difficulties in finding their authentic selves, prioritizing their needs and setting boundaries. For 2SLGBTQ+ folks, living in a world that marginalizes part(s) of your identity can feel like you are not allowed to be your true self, that your needs are “not ok.” It is quite common to cope with this reality by exercising various forms of “code switching” to “fit in” or avoid negative outcomes. This can lead to feeling disconnected from our authentic self or feeling "lost."

Accepting new patients. In-person sessions (Centretown). The goal of my treatments is not only to alleviate or extinguish psychological symptoms, but also to allow patients to better know and understand themselves. Working with an interpersonal psychoanalytic approach will lead you in the exploration of both conscious and unconscious experiences, which fosters a better functioning within your interpersonal contexts. I have been working with a large variety of patients of all ages, treating them not as a mere set of symptoms but as whole people with unique and unrepeatable stories.

Availability May 2023 - - - Professional, confidential, client-centered services with an experienced therapist. See www.LashaShaw.com for more information. - - - Clients usually contact me because they know something is wrong. Some feel stressed, anxious, or depressed. Others feel overwhelmed and confused. Many have started to notice problems in their sleep, mood, relationships, or work/school performance. Sometimes they aren't sure what's going wrong and they need help to identify the problem. Sometimes they know what they need to do, but they don't seem to be able to do it. That's where therapy can help.

Do you feel like you are: Afraid of the uncertainty of the future due to a life transition (e.g. adulthood, mid-life, retirement)? Feeling lost or confused about who you are now? / Struggling in your job, relationships, and other facets of your life due to past trauma? / On an emotional rollercoaster or numb from grief, perhaps feeling unable to talk to anyone about what you are living through or perhaps feeling that your grief is being invalidated by others? / Unable to accomplish what you would like because anxiety is in the driver’s seat? / Less emotionally tolerant than before, but don’t quite know why? I get it.
