Shay is the Therapist at Illuminative Self-Care Therapy (ISCT), which is a virtual therapy practice seeing clients solely in the states of California and Nevada via telehealth. Sessions at ISCT are strictly virtual and clients are able to receive therapy in the comfort of their home or the safe space of their choosing. ISCT currently conducts individual therapy in addition to relationship and family therapy, and holds group sessions as the need arises. Shay has a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and has been doing this practice for 10+ years. She has been fortunate to experience all walks of life and brings those experiences along with her personality to session. Shay's approach and goal at ISCT is grounded in supporting clients to increase their awareness around the way you operate within yourself, with others, and in the world. She utilizes various theories to support this, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy, which is based in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all related; Solution-focused therapy, which highlights people’s strengths and identifies skills and tools that one can use to address challenges they face; along with some mindfulness practices to assist with staying present, to again, support with increasing that overall awareness. ISCT emphasizes the importance of self-care and also gives consideration to one's basic needs and ways this plays into a person’s functioning.
