Bryony Shaw, PhD, LMFT

With over 16 years of clinical experience, I work with adults navigating mood disorders, addiction, and the complexities of relationships. My approach is grounded, relational, and shaped by a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek support. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, or patterns in love and connection that keep you stuck, I offer a space where real change becomes possible. I bring both professional expertise and genuine warmth to the work and I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is where healing begins.

You already know something isn't working. Maybe it's the drinking, the mood that won't lift, the relationship pattern you can see clearly and still can't seem to change. You've probably tried a few things. You're here because you want something to actually shift.
That's where I come in.
In our work together you can expect directness. I'm not going to let you spin in circles indefinitely. You can expect warmth: this is a space where you won't be judged for the parts of yourself you're not proud of. And you can expect to be genuinely challenged, because that's where change happens.
We may also work with your dreams. Not as a mystical exercise, but as a surprisingly direct route to what's happening beneath the surface: the patterns, the fears, the desires that don't always make it into conscious conversation. Clients who engage with this dimension of the work often find it accelerates everything else.
Sixteen years of experience means I've sat with a lot of complexity. I won't be shocked by yours.
If you're ready to do real work, I'm ready to do it with you.
