Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of trauma, wrestling with questions of identity or faith, or navigating the complexities of relationships and self-discovery. Shaylyn Bradshaw is here to provide a compassionate and affirming space to help you heal and grow. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Shaylyn specializes in trauma-focused therapy, guiding individuals ages 13 and up through the challenges of anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the journey of reclaiming self-worth.

Shaylyn’s approach is deeply rooted in inclusivity, social justice, and holistic care. She offers a safe, non-judgmental environment that is LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, and welcoming to clients from all spiritual backgrounds, including those deconstructing or questioning their faith. Drawing on her progressive Christian foundation, Shaylyn provides support for clients processing religious trauma, helping them explore their beliefs and find healing from the harm of rigid or fundamentalist ideologies. At the same time, she honors and welcomes clients seeking therapy without any ties to spirituality or religion.

Using a blend of therapeutic modalities, Shaylyn tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each client. She incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), body-based therapies, and psychodynamic processing to help clients stabilize their emotions, build internal harmony, and create safety within their own minds and bodies. Her practice also includes strengths-based and culturally competent care, uplifting and affirming the voices of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

Shaylyn has a passion for working with clients healing from trauma, whether it’s rooted in childhood experiences, attachment wounds, or societal and systemic oppression. Her style is creative, challenging, and affirming, encouraging clients to uncover their strengths and embrace their inherent worth. She takes a thoughtful, trust-building approach to therapy, ensuring her clients feel supported and empowered every step of the way.

For those deconstructing faith or exploring their spirituality, Shaylyn offers a space to ask hard questions and process beliefs in a way that feels authentic and safe. She views this process as a natural part of personal growth and is here to help clients navigate the feelings of fear, shame, or isolation that can accompany this journey. Shaylyn believes deeply in the power of love and compassion, grounding her work in the understanding that every person is worthy of a life filled with connection and purpose.

Outside of her work, Shaylyn is a traveler, activist, and lover of cultural exploration. She enjoys hiking, engaging in community advocacy, and spending time with her two cats and loved ones. Her life’s journey, shaped by her own experiences of trauma, faith, and resilience, fuels her passion for guiding others on their healing path.

If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, build internal harmony, and move toward a life of healing and self-discovery, Shaylyn is here to guide you with compassion, creativity, and unwavering support.
