I enjoy working with people who struggle with depression and/or anxiety. Ideally, their goals would be to improve their overall functioning and quality of life. My ideal client would be able to put in the necessary work to accomplish their goals. My therapy style is authentic, empathetic, and validating. I believe in incorporating various treatment modalities that are based on the individual needs of my clients.

I believe that all people struggle with signs and symptoms of stress, anxiety and/or depression at some point in their lives. We are social creatures and we need to feel a sense of community or belonging with others. We need to feel connected with those people who are willing to listen, share their life experiences, and guide us to a better way of coping with the uncertainties of life. This is the reason I entered the counseling profession; to be that safe harbor in the storm. Whether you see me or another therapist, please know that you do not have to struggle on your own.

Zaida Lane-Shephard (she/hers) is a licensed independent social worker with an undergraduate degree in social work from Western Kentucky University and a master's degree in social work from Campbellsville University. As a mental health therapist, Zaida's goal is to create a space where her clients feel seen, valued, held, and respected.

We learn how to see, value and trust ourselves and others based on how our caregivers saw, valued and were honest with us. When that relationship has been broken in any way, we develop an attachment wound. This break could have come in many forms, neglect, abuse, emotional and physical absence or inconsistent nurturing. As adults we act out our wounds in our daily lives. This leads to an inability to form healthy, connected and valuable relationships with ourselves and others. The impact of this is depression, anxiety, personality issues, trauma responses and a myriad of other issues.

My strengths are in acceptance of where you are as a developing human being and allowing you to grow and learn in your own unique ways; over 30 years of experience with lots of clients, issues, and situations; my honesty with you; and my high regard for the potential in every person. I work holistically, helping you to identify what you need cognitively, emotionally, physically, and spiritually to help yourself. I like helping people find that there are solutions in their lives that they had not thought or had not seen before. I feel that we all need a sense of purpose and community in our lives in order to live fully!

As a strengths and solution focused therapist, I believe we each have the power to process our issues and find the key to unlock often untapped potential; taking care of one’s mental health is vital to living a peaceful and fulfilling life. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and men’s issues. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the struggles many encounter and work to create a safe and welcoming space for all!
