Hi there, I am Amber Shaw, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. Therapy typically includes answering many questions, so I wanted to share a little about myself as we come to know each other better.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clark University and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas in Austin. Over the past 8 years in the field, I have gained experience working in crisis management, substance dependency treatment, child welfare systems, high school counseling centers, as well as inpatient and outpatient treatment centers for mental health recovery.

I have lived in Austin, Texas for many years now and have learned a few important things. Tacos are a meal for any time of the day, it’s best to stop looking at the temperature from June until August and don’t get too used to your view, Austin is always changing. While I love Austin there will always be a part of me longing for crisp fall air, snowy holidays, and summers filled with fresh seafood from growing up in the Northeast.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with loved ones (especially those with four legs and a tail), creating in the kitchen, exploring the outdoors, and reading.

Now that you know a bit about me, I look forward to learning more about you soon.
