Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker | Certified Dementia Practitioner

Boston, MA | In-Person & Telehealth Sessions

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) with more than two decades of clinical experience helping adults navigate complex emotional, relational, and medical challenges. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Boston College and have dedicated my career to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care rooted in authenticity, compassion, and the belief that genuine change is possible at every stage of life.

My areas of specialization include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, medical conditions, LGBTQ+ identity and relationships, grief and loss, end-of-life issues, and advanced care planning. My integrative approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a Humanistic framework. I believe that movement is medicine, and that healing emerges through the mind–body connection — where awareness, purpose, and action intersect.

As a gay clinician, I am deeply committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where clients can explore identity, relationships, and resilience with honesty and respect. I strive to help each person cultivate balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of possibility in their lives.

Many of my clients come to me feeling like something is holding them back. Stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, struggling to communicate in ways that feel authentic, or searching for healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.

Shakyra Lawson

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wellesley, MA

Searching for therapists in Wellesley starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare Wellesley therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy styles that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Wellesley is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be based nearby, in another part of Massachusetts, or available through virtual sessions. In-person wellesley therapy may work well if you prefer a local office near Wellesley Hills, Wellesley Square, or Washington Street. Virtual therapy can expand your options when appointment times, commute, or local availability matter. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling that fits your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Wellesley can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you compare therapists in Wellesley, MA who are accepting new patients, see estimated session costs before you book, and choose between in-person and virtual care. You can browse therapist profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
