Hello my name is Shawna Soles and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field and more than two decades of service as a dedicated social worker. I currently specialize in supporting children, families, and adults navigating through anxiety, depression, and a range of mental health challenges.
With a warm and client-centered approach, I utilize evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Brief Family Therapy. My goal is to empower clients by helping them build practical skills, to develop resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I have earned a Master of Social Work from Walden University and is licensed in New York and the State of Maine. I am known for a collaborative approach, compassionate style and commitment to creating a safe, supportive space for healing and growth.
