Andrew M. Shaw, MEd, LCMHC, NCC
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
they/them/theirs
Andrew meets with counseling clients at the Winston-Salem office. They also offer online telehealth counseling in North Carolina and South Carolina. They offer individual psychotherapy and work with adults (18+).
My work is focused on supporting counseling clients as they work toward greater self-acceptance and personal growth. I bring my training, knowledge, and counseling experience, but my role isn’t about telling people what to do. It’s about providing a supportive environment for clients to learn more about themselves and take steps toward their goals.
Clients seek out therapy for many reasons. They may be seeking more balance, enjoyment, and authenticity in their lives. They may be looking for support with specific mental health concerns, like anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, or ADHD. Counseling can also help with stress management, navigating life transitions, and for having time in the week dedicated to self care.
I genuinely enjoy my work as a counselor, and I think so highly of my clients! It’s an honor to do this work.
