Ali Shields, LCSW

As a passionate clinician dedicated to helping clients navigate their daily struggles, I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression. Whether you're a teen feeling pressure to perform or fit in, a young adult trying to navigate the uncertainty of adulthood, a professional who can’t turn off your thoughts, or a parent running on empty, I’m here to help. Together, we can build the skills and resilience needed to move beyond the overwhelm, so you can start feeling more grounded, empowered, and in control of your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with both professional training and lived experience with anxiety, which gives me a unique understanding of what it’s like to struggle with these challenges. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on creating a safe space where you don’t need to have it all together, you can simply be your authentic self. Together, we’ll make sense of emotional patterns and help you break free from cycles like overthinking, self-doubt, and low motivation. Through our work, you’ll learn practical tools such as thought reframing, emotion regulation, grounding techniques, and strengths-based coping strategies that empower you to manage anxiety, depression, and life’s demands. My goal is to help you build resilience and find relief, so you can navigate daily challenges with greater ease and confidence.
