Shardae Collins, LCSW, LICSW
About me
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.

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.

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.
