I enjoy working with individuals and couples navigating difficult periods in their lives. I take a collaborative approach that is grounded in a curious and compassionate inquiry into the areas that get us all stuck. I work with individuals to move through these places in the context of a safe and trusting relationship. Within that relationship an individual can harness their own innate drive towards health and well-being. My work is grounded in my own mindfulness practice and I encourage clients to experiment with mindfulness as a path to transformation and wellness.

"Why is this so hard? We love each other, but we can't stop fighting." I understand the hopelessness of living in a cycle of conflict. I became a couples therapist because I believe deeply in the importance of having a supportive and loving relationship--with yourself and with your partner. I will help you learn how to stop when anger, fear and hurt cause you to react in defensive and aggressive ways toward your partner. By slowing down and taking care of yourself first, you will gradually learn how to connect from a more vulnerable and honest place, creating a more satisfying and peaceful relationship together.

You're sick of feeling so overwhelmed and unfulfilled. Life is great on paper and by all accounts, you "should" be happy. But it's getting harder to cover up the feeling that your soul is dying. And that inner critic is so loud it's hard to hear much else. Going through the motions, marking things off your to-do list, but you’re not present. Tasks are means to an end: “If I can just get X, I’ll feel better.” But relief never comes. Maybe happiness lies somewhere in the future, but you can't tap into it now. You know you deserve joy and fulfillment. But how can you begin to trust yourself & start thriving, rather than just surviving?

I help people free themselves from the wrath of a harsh inner critic, get unstuck from unhealthy situations, and start living instead of just surviving. If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment through the therapeutic relationship we create.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst experienced in working with older adolescents and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and struggles with family dynamics, mood disorders, substance abuse, college and life transition anxieties - and those helping family members with these problems. My style is warm, engaged and collaborative. While I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, my orientation is primarily psychodynamic, which means I start with the assumption that the sources of distress can be complex and often outside our immediate awareness.

When you struggle with motivation and energy, that long list of chores can feel like a punishment. Or maybe feeling burnt out has sucked the passion out of your career, leaving you aimless. Every day can feel like a losing battle, but you don’t have to do it alone. It doesn't always have to end in a fight against time and anxiety, and you don't have to feel shame for struggling to complete what seems to come easily to others. Understanding what really makes you tick and finding motivation within yourself can put you on the path to living on your own terms instead of playing catch-up.

For the high-performing, emotional, overwhelmed, anxious & burnt-out: I believe that self-expression is key for confidence & healthy relationships. I work with people to help them face their fears of intimacy and vulnerability head-on so they can find relief from loneliness and get a grip on their emotions. Together we explore past hurts and self-talk that can lead to messy, one-sided relationships, anxious spirals, a loud inner critic, and burn-out. I work well with individuals who want to connect with their own power, to take responsibility for their part in relationships, & to express both their strength and softness with ease.

Most of the clients I have worked with over the years are looking for acceptance: familial, peer, and social. They are looking for their place to fit in. The challenges they face are "big" to them and important for them to gain understanding and guidance on how to move forward to a place that is comfortable for them where they can be "seen and heard". I have worked with, and learned from, a variety of people with a host of concerns over the years. I would say that I have learned as much from them as they have from me, if not more from them in how best to approach then work to resolve what there concerns are.

Hello! I'm a psychologist and a certified life coach, and I love working with clients who prefer an active, direct, practical, and instructive approach that includes learning some tools that you can apply on your own. My clients describe me as curious, gentle, kind, and calm, but also challenging when that's helpful. They say that after some time working with me, they can hear my voice during difficult times, reminding them of what we have talked about. Ideally, I know my clients so well that sometimes we can laugh together about what's happening.

What is your life trying to tell you? Whether you're struggling with a life transition, failed relationship, grief and loss, anxiety or depression, it's an opportunity for growth. Although growth can be difficult, it can also be extremely rewarding. I primarily work with individual adults dealing with relationship issues, life transitions, grief & loss, aging parents, personal & professional development, anxiety and depression. Working collaboratively with clients is important to me and for those looking to go deeper outside of session, I provide homework and reading resources.

My goal is to work with my clients to create a safe, open, & supportive environment for them to express themselves freely and unapologetically. I work with my clientele on breaking old habits, reframing powerful beliefs, and unsettling feelings that have anchored them from moving forward in life and accomplishing their goals. My main focus is assisting my clients with becoming the best versions of themselves through identifying their priorities, values, & develop the skills needed to tap into their full potential.

Welcome to my practice. I thoroughly enjoy my work and thrive in helping people develop healthy, productive, and satisfying lives and relationships. I strive to create a welcoming environment where children, adolescents and adults feel comfortable exploring ways to achieve their goals. Research has shown that one of the most important aspects of change in therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship, so the benefits received from therapy are directly related to feelings of comfort and connection with a therapist. I consider my role as a therapist to be a privilege and will work to ensure you receive services best suited for you.

Your story is so much bigger than whatever brings you to therapy. I'm Dr. Kyler Shumway, and I joined the field of psychology because I know what it's like to lose momentum, to feel defeated, to be lost. I know what it's like to feel alone, like no one else can or wants to understand. I know what it's like to be tormented by the ghosts of your past. And - I know what it's like to move forward, overcome, and courageously confront the things that bring you suffering. I believe that you can do that, too.

As a child of Iranian immigrants who was born and raised in the U.S., parts of my identity have been pinned against each other – especially when it comes to sociocultural perceptions and “norms.” I know what it feels like to struggle with conflicting identities within you. There’s this tension, this inner conflict of what we see and experience versus what we’re told.
