Dr. Shaina L. Shepherd

Hello, soul searcher. I’m a clinical psychologist, writer, and soul-deep listener who believes in the goodness of people and the healing power of truth. With a background in psychopathology, relationships, addiction, and trauma, I help people make sense of their inner world with both softness and strength.

Through therapy and writing, I offer tools for clarity, self-compassion, and transformation. Whether you’re here for insight, support, or inspiration — you’re in the right place.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my three kiddos (13, 8, and 6), my IT guy — aka my husband — and our energetic Bernese/Shepherd mix, Marlin. I was born and raised in eastern Kentucky, in a town I’m sure you’ve never heard of. I spent my formative years in South Florida, where I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology and an M.S. in Clinical Psychopharmacology. I’ve been a practicing psychologist since 2009 and have worked in pharmaceutical research and beyond.

Psychology with science, strength, and softness.
