Shirley Rudd, LCSW
About me
Dr. Shirley Rudd, Ed.D., LCSW, licensed in Colorado and Florida with seven years of professional clinical experience, specializes in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, heal from trauma and abuse, and address parenting concerns. My approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, viewing each client as the expert in their own life journey. I tailor my treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each individual, fostering collaboration and acceptance to empower clients toward positive change. I believe that therapy, even when complex, is most productive when guided with intention and fidelity. I offer virtual sessions via video, telephone, and chat, recognizing their effectiveness. Using diverse therapeutic strategies, from psychotherapy to self-exploratory interventions, I support clients in maximizing their counseling experience, and I take pride in witnessing the celebrations and challenges they face in today’s evolving world. I accept many different insurances. Please let me know if you would like to use your insurance for payment.

I just met with Shirley for the first time and she is a breath of fresh air. She validates, listens, and seeks to understand. After having a rough start with Better Help, I feel grateful to have connected with her!
