My professional background includes working in Rikers Island as a therapist, working as a virtual EAP provider as well as private practice. My specific areas are individual therapy of those 13 years and older, with a heavy focus on trauma therapy and gender affirming care. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space while also challenging you when necessary. I tend to be more direct and value building a strong therapeutic relationship above all.

I believe that we are always one decision away from living the exact life that we want! I am a first-generation Haitian-American graduate from SUNY Albany & Stony Brook University. I've worked in the mental health field for 12 years and still find myself energized by the stories of my incredibly brave clients. In my practice, I help first generation Women of Color break free from rescuing others and give them tangible tools to begin healing themselves through daily practice.

I am so glad you are here!
I have decades of experience in counseling and psychology. Upon moving to New York 8 years ago, I began my private practice where I can spend more time with each individual. Previously, in Florida, I worked in the juvenile justice and foster care systems, primarily with adolescent girls. My focus now is working with women struggling with issues related to anxiety, relational issues, and trauma, to name a few. My passion for this work stems from sharing my knowledge and skills to assist in my clients' goals. Helping people uncover resilience, reclaim agency, and thrive is a gift I cherish daily.

As a therapist, I bring flexibility and compassion and lead with warmth. I have worked across a range of settings, from supporting at-risk children and military families to community mental health, and that breath shapes how I meet each person exactly where they are.

Sometimes we may feel unhappy, lonely, or a bit stuck and want something more for ourselves and our relationships. Through counseling, I can help you create a more meaningful and fulfilling life, while also decreasing feelings of discontent. Working together, we can establish a supportive, therapeutic connection that is tailored to your individual needs and challenges to help change your life for the better. We will identify the barriers that may be preventing you, your child, or your families from feeling happy and connected with others. Please feel welcome to schedule a consultation with me to chat about how we can get started.

Maybe you've been carrying this longer than you'd like to admit. Anxiety that won't
settle, patterns that keep repeating, or a quiet sense of feeling disconnected from
yourself or your relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional
difficulties, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I believe you are more
than the challenges that bring you to therapy, and I aim to understand you as a whole
person, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of IFS, psychodynamic therapy, CBT,
mindfulness, and somatic approaches to support growth and meaningful change.

Welcome! My name is Kristina Shamp, LCSW. I'm passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. Throughout the years of working as a therapist, I have primarily focused on substance use concerns. I have also worked with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, negative thought patterns, relationship difficulties, communication challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and self-worth. My goal for every client is to feel supported and understood - especially during times when they may feel alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and hold a Master's in Social Work from Roberts Wesleyan College.
