Mrs Melissa Shaw

I’m a therapist who believes relationships are where we both get hurt and healed. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck—disconnected from themselves, each other, or the kind of love they want to give and receive. Much of my work focuses on trauma, anxiety, and depression—especially how they quietly show up in relationships and make closeness feel hard or unsafe. Together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface. We look at patterns, unspoken needs, and the moments where connection gets lost. I create a space where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out—just show up as you are. From there, we build new ways of communicating, repairing, and reconnecting so you can feel more understood, more grounded, and more at home in your relationships—with others and with yourself.
