Shi Prior-Wood, LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker
I am glad to introduce myself as a clinician who has a passion for creating space for the heavier things in life, whether past or present. In these therapeutic spaces, I am dedicated to forming trusting and mutual relationships that allow people to find their own ways to grow and heal.
My experience includes specializing in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention. I have spent years working with individuals experiencing a diverse range of needs including complex trauma, surviving domestic violence/abuse, adoption, early childhood adversities, and difficult relationships with substances. I use evidence-based practices and a person-centered approach to support the needs of those I work with.
I am looking to work with clients who are ready to take an active participatory role in their healing. This is a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, no matter what your current experience is. Please reach out to schedule a consultation, I currently have open availability.
