Shy Porter, PhD, LMFT

"She’s amazing! Dr. Shy came into my life when I lost both of my parents at the fragile age of 18 and to this day, I couldn’t imagine where I’d be without her guidance and compassion."

"I started seeing Dr. Porter when I felt I no longer had the ability to self-manage my postpartum anxiety. I soon found that Dr. Porter was an asset to my understanding of how my body and mind were changing as a new mother. She helped guide me through trials and tribulations of balancing work and home stressors while also developing tactics to successfully work through my postpartum symptoms. I appreciated that Dr. Porter conducted therapy in a judgement-free environment and made sessions easily accessible and convenient for my busy schedule with an infant."

"I love working with Dr. Porter! She holds me accountable, gives me access to some much needed tools, and helps me to access parts of myself that I would normally avoid or deny. It is not easy work but it is worthwhile."

"I began seeing Dr. Porter at a difficult time in my life, after not seeking therapy for some years prior.  She really helped me process the things that had been emotionally affecting me in a much more healthy way. Her gentle accountability, allowed me to dig deeper than my usual surface level responses to understand the why in many situations.  She is respectful, calming, patient and  very professional."

"Dr. Porter has been an incredible support on my journey of self-discovery and growth. Through her guidance, I've learned to see myself with more compassion, love myself more deeply, and truly value who I am. Her empathetic approach and insightful guidance have been instrumental in my personal development. Additionally, she has helped me navigate through a tremendous amount of trauma, providing a safe space for healing and empowerment. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who cares deeply and has the expertise to support them through whatever they are trying to work through."

"I came to see Dr. Shy to address issues in my relationship. I was looking for a therapist who could identify issues within my relationship, understand our cultural differences, and provide guidance on how to navigate these issues. When I booked my first session, I didn't know what to expect as I had never gone to a therapist before. I was hoping to find someone who can pinpoint the issue and tell me how to fix it. I quickly learned that therapy is so much more.  After that first session, I felt extremely comfortable talking to Dr. Shy and discussing the issues that brought me to her office.  Dr. Shy is easy to talk to, understanding, and creates a safe environment to share. She provides guidance and support during our sessions and has helped me improve my communication within my relationship. Dr. Shy has also helped me identify insecurities and concerns that I felt in my relationship. I now have tools that I can use to share how I am feeling and what I need in my relationship. I am happy to have found a therapist that is incredibly supportive and that wants the best for us."
