Do you struggle with anxiety, low mood, anger, burnout, and/ or tough relationships? Are you exploring your identity and trying to navigate life in a way that feels more like you? If it feels like you’re stuck on a treadmill, past experiences may still shape how you move through life. When things feel heavy or overwhelming having space to pause, slow down, and reconnect with yourself can be helpful. Hi, I’m Shaina, a second-generation Jamaican therapist and founder of Pause Point Psychotherapy Services. I provide a warm, compassionate, and affirming space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.
My approach is collaborative and client-centered, drawing from parts work, DBT, CBT, and somatic based practices. Not to mention, I’m really down to earth! Together we can create a plan we'll create a plan tailored to your unique needs, to navigate emotions, deepen self-understanding, and support balance at a pace that feels right for you.
Reaching out takes courage, and here you are. Whether you have questions or are just feeling things out, you’re in the right place. No pressure to be anything other than exactly where you are. Feel free to check out my website to learn more. If you request to be contacted by email, please check your junk folder as new senders can end up there.
