About Shay Reid

Anxiety, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, Trauma, Stress, Burnout, Identity and Cultural Issues

 

Life’s challenges can take a lot out of you. At times they can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply exhausted. Navigating changes in relationships, work, identity, or life circumstances can feel heavy, especially when you feel like you have to carry it on your own. You don’t have to.

I believe healing and growth happen in safe, supportive spaces where you feel seen and heard. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths, explore what matters most to you, and begin creating meaningful change in your life.

My lived experiences as a Black woman, immigrant, and person with a physical disability allow me to appreciate how identity, culture, and life experiences shape the way we move through the world. These perspectives help me approach therapy with curiosity, openness, and respect for each client’s unique story. I’m especially mindful of how culture, identity, and lived experiences can shape the way we experience stress, healing, and connection.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, identity and cultural concerns, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, burnout and trauma related concerns. I also support individuals who are exploring questions about belonging, purpose, and navigating life transitions.

My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centred. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) offering virtual psychotherapy services. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Certificate in Human Resources Management, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

You are the expert in your own story. My role is to support you as you find your voice, explore new perspectives, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. If this resonates with you, I welcome you to book a consultation to get started.

Fee: $160
