Hello my name is Shardae Collins I am a licensed clinical social worker who offers telehealth therapy to individuals residing in WA. I support individuals in recognizing their strength and resilience regardless of the cards that were dealt to them. My therapeutic approach explores your environment and lived experience to better understand your strengths, needs, and hopes for the future. I believe that you have the power to heal yourself. I am simply a guide. I provide a non-judgmental safe space for you to freely express yourself.
My approach is one that is direct, culturally relevant, sensitive, trauma informed, and non-shaming. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma and PTSD. I offer individual therapy rooted in mindfulness. Therapy can be hard and sometimes scary. I get it, I am here to support you on this journey.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. I have availability Monday-Thursday from 7AM-2PM PST and Fridays from 7am-11am PST.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Shardae is very understanding and supportive and a delight to talk to!
Shardae is lovely, and is a wonderful therapist. This is my first time doing therapy, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with her so far.
Smart, charming and helpful.
Sharedae is one of the most profession, intentional, and gentle-hearted people I have ever talked to. She understands conflict and trauma on levels where no one has ever connected with me. She is able to enable others to find the roots of their issues. She has helped me process so much of my own life and continues to challenge me to be the best version of myself. I would highly recommend Sharedae to anyone.
Shardae has been a very helpful outlet for me to process my concerns
I’ve been astounded by the revelations in my talks with Shardae! Thank you so much BetterHelp for recommending her!!
