Welcome, I'm Kristi Shaw!

You're In The Right Place.

I'm a licensed therapist, speaker, educator, coach, and owner of Clarity Counseling and Wellness. I know life can be hard and I will support you through the difficult times and situations you are facing. I have a passion for modern mental health and have the training, skills and expertise to get you to where you want to be. I would be honored to work with you!

Areas of Expertise & How I Can Help...

I Will Help You Through

Although I have specialized training & interest in the specific areas listed, I consistently work with all different situations & circumstances including anxiety, depression, infertility, perfectionism, relational issues and other concerns.
I can help you through the challenges that have brought you here. Let's talk to see if I'm the best fit for you.

Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

Postpartum depression is the most common and often under-diagnosed complication of childbirth in the U.S. Also known as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, these conditions can affect someone during or after pregnancy. Symptoms include sadness, irritability, mood swings, intense worries, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, panic attacks, difficulty bonding with your baby, and more. Unlike the "baby blues," which are shorter and less intense, postpartum depression and anxiety are more severe and longer-lasting. If your symptoms persist beyond two weeks, seeking help is essential. With specialized training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I offer the support, skills, and resources needed to reduce symptoms and help you feel better. You are not alone, and there is hope—you can feel like yourself again.

Grief & Loss

No one should face loss and grief alone. I’m here to help you navigate the overwhelming emotions and find the coping skills needed to adjust to life without your loved one. Grief is a natural part of the human experience, yet it's often difficult to express or manage. Many people feel pressured to "get over" a loss, but the truth is, we never truly "get over" losing someone we love. The loss becomes part of our story, and everyone grieves differently. Whether you're dealing with death, divorce, job loss, illness, or another significant change, you don’t have to go through it alone. With specialized training in grief, loss, and bereavement, I provide a safe, supportive space to guide you through this journey. Reach out to see how I can help.

Trauma Counseling (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy designed to reduce and overcome the symptoms of trauma. Traumatic events can become "stuck" in the brain with their original images, thoughts, sounds, and feelings. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, to help reprocess these memories in a safe environment. This process allows clients to gain new insights, alleviate emotional distress, and significantly reduce trauma symptoms. Backed by scientific research, EMDR is recognized by the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the American Psychiatric Association as one of the most effective treatments for PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that impact a person's relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Conditions like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and others are not just about food—they are often rooted in deeper emotional struggles, trauma, or a need for control. These disorders can lead to serious physical and emotional consequences, affecting every aspect of a person's life. If you're feeling trapped in a cycle of disordered eating, guilt, and shame, know that recovery is possible. With the right support, you can heal your relationship with food and your body. My approach combines compassionate care with proven therapeutic techniques to help you understand and address the underlying issues, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life toward recovery.

Infertility

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 8 couples in the United States, with both men and women experiencing reproductive challenges at nearly equal rates. Infertility can be an emotionally challenging journey, often bringing feelings of grief, frustration, guilt, and anxiety. The struggle to conceive can impact self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental health, leaving individuals and couples feeling isolated, overwhelmed & a lot of hard emotions. I will provide research backed, compassionate counseling to help you navigate the complex emotions that come with infertility & family planning. We will work with you to process your feelings, develop coping strategies, and find hope and resilience on your path. You don’t have to face this alone; I’m here to support you every step of the way.
