Hello! My name is Shea Pines, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Are you tired of just existing in life? My goal is to help you live in the present, making choices that align with your goals and values. I’ve worked with couples, young adults, teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, IPV (intimate partner violence), physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Let’s work together to get you the life you desire.

There are times throughout our lives when we feel stuck. Wanting to move forward, out of the darkness and into the light but not knowing how to take that first step and often not having the energy to do so. Sometimes that feeling of being stuck or the heaviness that comes with it, just comes out of nowhere leaving us confused and frustrated. Other times it is because we are moving through some pretty big life changes and we start to doubt ourselves and our worth. You have everything you need within you to heal, to move forward, to start over, and to live the life you you have always dreamed of. Allow me to help lighten your load.

Since 1991 I have been helping clients resolve the conflicts that have been preventing them from achieving their potential. I help women navigate the ups and downs of infertility treatments and identify the best ways to achieve their dreams of motherhood. Using my background in Employee Assistance work, I help clients gain perspective on workplace conflicts, resolve performance issues, and clarify professional goals. I help clients looking for love to identify their barriers to intimacy, examine expectations, and give relationships a chance at success. I have a special interest in holistic treatments.

I enjoy working with people who are ready to discover new possibilities for their lives. I use a continuum of verbal and non-verbal processing to improve relationships and free people to live richer and more satisfying lives. Carl Jung said "our goal is wholeness, not goodness". Taking a deeper look can mine less used parts and restore a balance that leads to living more from your true self. For direct contact, call 410-924-7372.

I am an advocate for children and their families. I feel it is important for children to be heard and validated. I know the importance of meeting the client "where they are" emotionally, spiritually and psychologically. My approach is client centered and I apply play therapy, expressive art therapy, CBT and sand therapy based on the needs of the client. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples and veterans. I assist clients with identifying the root causes of their current problems and how to resolve them. Honoring my client's life story is important. The client is the author of their life.
