Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Ciara Shellman
Therapist
I am a passionate and dedicated clinical therapist and PhD-level social worker, deeply committed to empowering individuals on their journey toward mental health and well-being. My career has been driven by a profound belief in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of therapy to transform lives. With extensive experience in both social work and clinical settings, I have developed a therapeutic approach that is compassionate, evidence-based, and holistic, addressing not only psychological needs but also the social and environmental factors influencing my clients' lives.
My practice is rooted in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions, tailored to meet the unique circumstances of each individual I work with. I am particularly attuned to the complexities of navigating life's challenges in the face of systemic barriers, drawing on my research and professional experiences to offer nuanced support.
I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that is safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental, where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their personal growth. My mission is to provide accessible, high-quality mental health services that encourage healing, resilience, and a deeper understanding of self, leveraging the power of online therapy to reach those in need, wherever they may be.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.

Life can be challenging. We don’t always find ourselves where we want to be or as happy as we would like. When that happens, therapy is an incredible tool to reflect on where you are and where you want to be.
