How I Can Help

I Launched My Anxiety and Trauma Therapy Website!

A Message From Shay

Welcome to my website. I’m happy you are here! Whether you think you have experienced trauma and want to know more, or are ready to begin your healing journey, I’m glad that you have taken the first step. Trauma can be difficult to understand, and the path to healing is not always easy or well defined. But one thing that is certain: you don’t have to struggle alone.

My name is Shay DuBois, a somatic trauma therapist in San Diego, CA with decades of experience in the fields of clinical social work and trauma-focused therapy.  I work with clients who have anxiety, the fear of being seen, the fear of success, and who have had childhood trauma or are children of emotionally immature parents. 

I am certified with Bessel van der Kolk’s Trauma Research Foundation, Dan Siegel’s Interpersonal Neurobiology Program, Brainspotting, and in Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry.

For lasting change I work with the mind, body, and brain.   I do somatic therapy for trauma in San Diego and all of California. I also provide in home neurofeedback, working with clients remotely.

The focus is to help you with compassion, understanding, and a personal approach to your healing process.

Whether you’re a new client or you’ve worked with me before, I hope you’ll enjoy my warm and compassionate website I built with the help of an award-winning website agency, Lifted Logic.

Want Help Getting Unstuck?

I help people who find themselves stuck in their past, and are ready to do the work to get unstuck.

Stuck might look like being numb and not feeling like you are living.

It might be feeling anxious, worried, and jumpy.   Stuck might be working yourself to exhaustion.

Or, stuck might even be living with an inner critic that makes you feel like your trauma was your fault or that you aren’t good enough.

Trauma manifests in many different ways for different people. (See my blog on What is Trauma, coming soon).

My digital presence is often my clients’ first impression of me.

That’s why I wanted to have a website that makes people feel comfortable and understood.

You deserve a site that helps you find the right therapist for you when facing anxiety or trauma and need to find inner peace.

I hope you enjoy exploring what is featured and will return to see how this site grows.

Here are some of my favorite features…

“Working with Shay was a one of a kind experience! Her compassion and love for her business is shown through her dedication to learning and healing. We could see that this isn’t just a job for her, it’s a passion to help her clients find their inner peace. This was a beautiful experience for us both.”

— Avery Tiefenthaler, Content Strategist at Lifted Logic
