Welcome to Hope and Resilience Therapy!

Meet Shaina

Hi there, I’m Shaina. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Hope and Resilience Therapy! Keep scrolling to learn more about my approach, and who I work with. I look forward to connecting with you if you think we’d be a good fit to work together!

My Approach

My main focus is helping you navigate your past traumatic experiences through Memory Reconsolidation and talk therapy. Through my various experiences I’ve found my specialty is working with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma specifically childhood neglect, verbal abuse from their parental figures, physical abuse, and emotional maltreatment. I work well with clients who continue to experience the mental, emotional, and physical effects of their trauma but are ready to change the outcome of their symptoms. I navigate people’s trauma slowly to build trust, avoid re-traumatization, and space to process current stressors (as the world keeps going as we’re trying to work on ourselves).

Everyone has their story, and my role is to be patient, compassionate, and provide uplifting feedback so we can improve your life. If you are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, down to earth, gives meaningful feedback, will try to instill hope in your life and have interactive conversations, then I may be the therapist you’re looking for.

  • The therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist plays an essential role in healing. Meeting for the consultation allows you to determine if you feel comfortable with me while I am able to assess if I feel I have the skills you are looking for to meet your goals.

  • I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, and Florida. I received my MSW from the University of Albany in 2016 and soon after began my social work journey. I’ve had the ability to practice therapy where I grew up, in Franklin County, Vermont. I’m familiar with the way of life, the people, and the challenges which allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level. I’ve been given the opportunity to work with children and adults with a variety of challenges varying from addiction, anxiety, and life transitions.
