Shylah Ridgway, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I am a mental health therapist providing trauma therapy and online therapy for women and LGBTQIA+ adults in California, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Texas, and Utah. You’re constantly procrastinating and feel dread about even the little things because it’s all too much. You feel like you are failing at everything. In fact, you’re killing it. You spend your time doing everything for everyone else, while neglecting yourself. You never feel like you have done enough. You worry that the plates in the air will fall. You fear everyone will realize you are incapable and incompetent. It feels like a hard life is your destiny because of the trauma in your past. You want to break the cycle of that generational trauma. You don’t know where to start. Sound familiar? Through our work together, I’ll help you move from a feeling of inadequacy, fear and exhaustion to being seen, heard and empowered to embrace who you truly are. We are so often socialized to fit ourselves into roles and boxes that put other people first. Finding a true sense of belonging and identity is something different altogether. Belonging means being able to show up exactly as you are, with every piece of your identity being accepted and valued. In addition to online therapy services, Ala Therapy Collective provides specialized forensic immigration psychological evaluations for cases involving extreme hardship waivers (I-601 and I-601A) and deportation cancellation in Oklahoma.
