I'm Shanta Cortez-Greig, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Smith College School of Social Work graduate with over 12 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. My clients often arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about who they want to become — and ready, on some level, to change. I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work, and I'm committed to creating a space where people of all backgrounds feel genuinely seen.

I draw on CBT, psychoanalytic principles, humanistic approaches, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring every session to your pace, goals, and story. I believe, as the saying goes, you can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails. My work is about helping you develop exactly that: the insight and tools to move through hard things, not around them.

Wherever you are right now, you deserve a warm, nonjudgmental space where real change is possible. You don't have to have it figured out to take the first step. If any of this resonates, I'd be honored to work alongside you.
