Ms Shayne McNichols

Psychotherapist

“As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore your challenges safely and without judgment. I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity exploration, and burnout.”

About Me

With 11 years' experience, I offer engaging psychotherapy for individuals, groups, and families. I help you navigate personal challenges by exploring how wider life circumstances influence your well-being. Our work together fosters understanding and resilience, creating a supportive space where all voices are heard. This approach is ideal for those seeking to connect their personal growth with their broader world. We can work collaboratively to find a way forward.

Approach

Therapy here focuses on linking daily struggles with larger pressures from relationships, work, and identity to uncover what feels stuck and manageable. I meet with adults and young people in Grand Rapids and online in English, keeping sessions steady, paced, and respectful of your energy. We use conversational reflection, brief assessment, creative exploration, and practical skills so insights translate into your week and relationships. This way of working tends to help people facing anxiety, burnout, life shifts, or complex relational pain who want collaborative, grounded care.
