Collin McShirley, LMFT

They ask really great, simple questions that truly opens up a can of worms per say. She has a great way of asking simple questions that lead to an insight and I've been learning to look at situations through multiple perspectives through these introspective questions.

I’ve have just started messaging with Collin, but so far it has been good. Due to my schedule in my daily life, I haven't been able to do live sessions, but simply chatting back and forth works for me right now. I understand that that means responses may not be immediate, but I am always thrilled when i see a message notification from Collin. Just knowing that I have someone there to listen to me (or read what i have to say) is enough

Collin has been very helpful in my first few weeks using better health. Sessions seem to fly by because I value everything she says and it has made me think about things I’ve never examined about myself. I recommend her completely to anyone seeking better ways to control your thoughts and reevaluate habits for better mental health. She’s also extremely kind and clearly cares about what she is doing.

Written on Jan 18, 2019 after therapy with Collin for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties

Collin has slowly eased me into talking about myself. I'm dealing with several chronic diseases that will be lifelong and I have been adjusting to the new reality of me. Collin is kind and calm, and it is nice to know that I can just spew about how I am feeling or a crappy day or when I'm feeling really down. This is a safe place I can go where I can tell how I'm really feeling and not worry that I'm getting my family distressed because of my ongoing issues. Thanks, Collin (o:

Collin has a warm presence that puts one at ease, and a focused mind that quickly gets to the point of the matter. She was able to match her pace to what i felt comfortable with in the moment. When I was warming up, she didn't push me, and when I was ready to dig in deep, she was right there with me.
