Shantel Hams

I work with adolescents and adults facing a variety of challenges, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (Levels 1 and 2), ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and recovery concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation challenges. I understand that every person experiences the world differently, and I strive to provide individualized care that honors each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I believe therapy should be more than a place to talk about problems. It should be a place where you gain tools, insight, and confidence that help you navigate everyday life. Whether you are learning to manage ADHD symptoms, processing traumatic experiences, developing social and communication skills, overcoming addiction, or simply seeking greater balance and fulfillment, we will work together to create a plan that fits your needs.I have a particular passion for working with individuals on the autism spectrum and helping them build self-understanding, confidence, independence, and meaningful connections with others. I also recognize the unique ways that ADHD, trauma, and other mental health challenges can impact daily life, relationships, work, and self-esteem. My goal is to help clients identify their strengths while developing strategies to overcome barriers and achieve their personal goals.Clients often describe me as approachable, authentic, and nonjudgmental. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, and I strive to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe being yourself. Together, we'll focus on creating practical solutions, fostering resilience, and helping you move toward the life you want to live.No matter where you are in your journey, you do not have to face it alone. I look forward to walking alongside you as you build on your strengths, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change.
