Nezar Shahin

I work with adults and young adults who tend to think deeply about themselves and their lives, but still find themselves feeling stuck. You might be dealing with anxiety, overthinking, shame, anger, relationship or family difficulties, a life transition, or questions about who you are and what you want your life to mean.

My work draws from existential, psychoanalytic, narrative, and solution-focused therapy, with a particular interest in philosophy and language. I like to slow things down and get curious about what you mean when you say things like “I should,” “I can’t,” “I’m a failure,” or “this is just who I am.”

There is no need to arrive at therapy with a clear explanation of what is wrong. You can come with a question, a feeling you cannot quite name, a relationship that has become difficult, or simply the sense that something is not sitting right with you.

I will not pretend that every problem has a simple answer. Sometimes therapy is about finding an answer. Sometimes it is about asking a better question. Above all, I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have yourself figured out.

We can start there.
