My name is Abby Shears, and I am a counseling student at Changing Tides Counseling. I am currently finishing my Master’s degree at Liberty University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Having gone back to pursue my Master’s degree later in life has given me the gift of vast life experience ranging from being married for over twenty years, to the challenges and gifts of raising three boys, to dealing with various life traumas and overcoming them. It is through this lived experience and my continued education that I hope to partner with you to tackle whatever challenges you are currently facing in your life.
While I am trained in multiple psychological theories, I believe that we all have the tools within ourselves to heal and take a Humanistic approach to helping clients discover what blind spots or roadblocks may be preventing them from achieving their best life possible. I am also continuing my education and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, LENS Neurofeedback and Brainspotting.
Let me partner with you on your journey toward introspection and intentional living to create a more healthy and balanced life!
