Therapy can seem daunting, and you may be hesitant to start, but you've already taken the first step! As a therapist, my goal is to help you reach your own goals and to provide guidance and support to get there. I aim to create a safe and inclusive space, where my clients can express themselves and explore their own worlds without judgments. I encourage open communication and humor within our sessions, as I want my clients to feel comfortable and welcomed!

Shavone Reese

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I work with children, teens, young adults, and men navigating anxiety, depression, social anxiety, trauma, and life’s challenges. I support children with IEPs and teens working through identity, relationships, confidence, and emotions. I have a particular interest in working with boys and men who want to better understand and process their emotions, especially those coping with trauma. If you are a male seeking a therapist for the first time, you do not have to know exactly what to say or where to begin. Therapy can be a place to feel understood, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to cope.
