ABOUT  ME
Dr. Shelly Scamardo

     I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who works with children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you or your child can explore feelings, develop coping skills, and build confidence.

     With children and teens, I use a variety of expressive approaches, including play therapy, therapy toys, and a sandtray, which help them express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while developing healthier ways to cope and self-regulate.

     In our first few sessions, we’ll spend time getting to know one another. I’ll ask questions to better understand what’s bringing you to therapy and what goals we want to work toward together. I also make sure there’s space for you to share your story in your own time and way.

     I’m passionate about helping people reach their true potential. Working with young children and adolescents gives me the opportunity to make a difference early—helping to build emotional resilience and prevent long-term mental health struggles.

If you’re looking for a compassionate, understanding environment where healing and growth can happen, I’d be honored to work with you.
