🌿 Welcome — You’re In the Right Place

You’re here because something’s not working — anxiety, compulsions, relationship stress, emotional dysregulation, or maybe just a nagging sense that life feels off-track. You’re introspective, capable, and maybe even the go-to support for others — but you’re ready for support of your own. Whether you’re navigating identity, trauma, addiction, or a tough transition, I’m here to help you move from surviving to meaningfully living.

I’m Shawn Wood, LCSW, a licensed therapist in California, Texas, Massachusetts, Vermont, and North Dakota, and I’ve spent over a decade helping children, youth, and adults heal, grow, and reclaim a life that feels more like their own. I work virtually with clients across these states, offering a therapy experience that is warm, educational, evidence-based, and rooted in your values.

🧭 What It’s Like to Work With Me

My approach is structured, compassionate, and deeply human. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, RO-DBT, ERP, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients in building emotional flexibility, managing distress, and making meaningful, values-aligned changes.

Together, we’ll:

• Clarify what matters most to you (your values)
• Explore the patterns and pain points keeping you stuck
• Build psychological flexibility, emotional regulation, and concrete skills
• Move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and connected

Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief — it’s about building a life worth living, one where your goals, identity, and emotions can coexist with strength and self-compassion.

🧠 Who I Work With

I specialize in working with:

• Adults, men, and young adults facing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or emotional overwhelm
• LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity, self-advocacy, or gender-affirming care
• Clients recovering from trauma, self-harm, or relational wounds
• Individuals working through addiction, gaming issues, or impulse control
• Parents and caregivers managing challenging child or teen behaviors
• Helpers and thinkers ready to live more intentionally and stop white-knuckling their way through life

🛠 My Toolbox Includes:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical and Radically Open DBT
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Prolonged Exposure (PE)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS)
• Structure Relapse Prevention (SRP)
• Attachment-Based Work (ARC, Connect)

Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, break free from compulsions, explore your identity, or recover from trauma, therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself and your values. I’ll meet you with curiosity, clarity, and clinical expertise — always at your pace.

Now accepting virtual clients in California, Texas, Massachusetts, Vermont, and North Dakota. Let’s work together to help you move forward — with purpose, not pressure.
