Shayonna Escalera, LMSW, Certified Grief Educator

Licensed Master of Social Work | Certified Grief Educator

Hey! My name is Shay, and I provider therapy services at our Towson, MD clinic. I am a social worker who highly values creating a space that is welcoming, relaxing, and flexible to the needs of my clients.

I Earned a BSW from Cedar Crest College & MSW from Marywood University; I am a Certified Grief Educator. My current specialties (9yrs+): grief & loss (not limited to death & dying), OCD, anxiety disorders, confidence-building, spirituality/religious trauma, depression, anger, stress, parenting. My priority is for you receive the support that you need. Whether you seek therapy from me or another provider, I’m proud of you for taking this step for yourself.

Together, we will create a collaborative space that serves as a container for your feelings, thoughts, experiences that you may not want to share with everyone. Through education, practice, and feedback, processing, & considerations of intersectionalities, you can get a better idea of what you want out of your life in a way that aligns with you.

You. Are. Enough. There are plenty of messages that continuously tell us we need to be more or shrink ourselves. However, I will not tell you what you “should” or “should not” do. As your therapist, I empower you, advocate for you, & encourage you through obstacles. Please let me know how we can make your therapy space align better with your needs & goals.

Please note that when communicating with our intake team over the phone, all calls will start in English. Translation services will be offered once you connect with a member of our intake team.
