Shayna Agosta has been trained in multiple therapeutic techniques including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Humanistic therapy. She is a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, helping individuals work through addiction issues. Shayna is a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. EMDR therapy is an evidence based, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (EMDRIA, 2023). EMDR therapy, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process (EMDRIA, 2023).

Shayna specializes in trauma, co-dependency, relationship issues, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She has a passion for working with adults to overcome life issues and challenges. Her goal is to meet her clients where they’re at, and to work together to help them work towards their goals.
