Shams Elbedeiwy, MSW, LCSW, C-DBT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

My therapeutic style is relational and collaborative. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel emotionally safe, deeply understood, and gently challenged. Our work together focuses on making sense of your inner world—how past experiences, attachment patterns, and learned coping strategies continue to shape how you feel, think, and relate today.

I pay close attention to emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself. Together, we work to increase awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop more flexible and intentional ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life’s challenges. My goal is not simply symptom relief, but meaningful and lasting change.

Sessions are a warm, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. Therapy with me is reflective and engaged, with a focus on insight, emotional processing, and meaningful change at a pace that feels supportive rather than rushed.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself in a deeper way.
