Holding Space for Healing & Wholeness

 

Shane Padamada is a deeply compassionate and integrative therapist committed to helping clients reconnect to their sense of safety, inner peace, and purpose. Her work is shaped not only by her extensive clinical training—but by her own lived experience overcoming trauma, anxiety, and depression. Shane is passionate about making mental health care more accessible, de-stigmatized, and rooted in whole-person healing.

 

She specializes in supporting individuals and groups across the lifespan, particularly those navigating trauma, interpersonal violence, and emotional overwhelm. Her practice is grounded in the belief that healing is possible and that every person is inherently worthy of love, respect, and peace.

 

An Integrative, Mind-Body-Spirit Approach

 

Shane’s approach blends evidence-based methods with somatic and holistic modalities, drawing from:

• Interpersonal Neurobiology & Attachment Theory

• Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)

• CBT & ACT (Cognitive Behavioral & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

• Clinical Hypnotherapy & Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT)

• Mindfulness, Meditation & Trauma-Sensitive Yoga

• Biofeedback, Expressive Arts & PSYCH-K®

 

Each session is tailored to the client’s unique needs, and Shane provides a calm, inclusive space where transformation can occur—often joined by her gentle ESA companions, Eva (dog) and Bentley (cat), if requested.

 

Clinical Experience

 

Shane has worked across the full spectrum of mental health care, including:

• Early childhood and school-based services

• Outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) care

• Partial hospitalization (PHP), residential, and inpatient psychiatric units

• Crisis intervention and prevention-focused services

 

Her trauma-informed lens and cultural humility allow her to meet clients where they are—with empathy, skill, and grounded presence.
