Shane Phillips

I work with undergraduate and graduate students who are struggling with a variety of mental health, substance use, and existential problems. The people I work with are often looking to reduce their suffering and increase their sense of meaning and purpose. My first priority is to establish trust and help create a relationship that is both safe and honest.
Within the context of this secure relationship, my clients are able to better understand their self-limiting or self-defeating patterns, mourn life's inevitable losses, and establish or re-establish a life that is organized around the values that matter most to them.
My hope is that clients will develop a reliable self-esteem, improve their ability to be in relationship with self and others, and live life with less reactivity and more flexibility.
