Nina Shilling

"Nina is fabulous, a great listern and true ability to see whats being hidden and what needs to be explored to truly start the healing process. Sucks she is retiring...."

"Nina's work is profound. In just a few sessions she helped me unlock parts of myself I had kept locked away for years. She provides a safe, comforting space where you feel heard, respected, and truly seen, which helps you to open up and look at yourself honestly. What an incredible experience. I'd worked with other councilors and psychologists before, but no one comes close. Rather than placing judgement on my experiences--even so-called negative or bad ones, like severe anxiety and deep held sorrow--she helped me to hold those experiences and recognize them as important, even useful, parts of myself that were acting up a little too loudly. What a powerful, beautiful teacher and presence. Nina is a wonderful soul and very gifted healer. I am so grateful that I found her."

"I worked with Nina for just under a year, and couldn’t have been happier with the results. When I first met Nina, I was depressed and unhappy. I had been wary of visiting a therapist, but I felt immediately welcomed by Nina’s backyard and small guest house, where she does her sessions. Nina’s temperament and compassion always made me feel welcome, and helped facilitate my journey along the path to happiness and evenness of mind. Her insight, into life and into my own mind, was impressive and invaluable. My work with Nina left me feeling happy, patient, and in control of my life, and the skills she provided me with have helped me maintain those feelings in the years since. I recommend Nina as highly as I can."

"I worked with Nina for about 2 years while I was about 22-24 years old. At that time in my life I was having a lot of difficulty figuring out who I was post-college and who I was in intimate relationships. From my first meeting with Nina I felt comfortable, welcomed and cared for. She has a sense of calm and security about her that made me feel safe. This allowed for me to be totally honest. I was able to gain a much better understanding of myself and who I wanted to be. Most of all, I gained self-esteem to help me out of the hurting relationships I was in and allowed me to be open to healthy relationships. I attribute my happiness and esteem to the work I was able to do with Nina and since then have been living a wonderful life. I am grateful that I met her, and if I still lived nearby I would continue to see her. Along with her comfortable therapeutic guidance, Nina also offered me practice in Buddhist meditation throughout our sessions. This is a practice that I come back to whenever I feel lost or overwhelmed and it takes me back to the strength and growth I experienced in her sessions."
