Shylah Mathuram

I am a Limited License Master Social Worker (LLMSW) who specializes in supporting children (6+), teens and young adults through various life changes and challenges. My approach mixes engaging play and art therapy techniques for my younger clients to meet them at their individual age and stage. With my older clients I often use a blend of trauma informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Relational Therapy with a focus on strengths and building resilience.

I value the power of storytelling and believe each client has their own unique and important story no matter their age. My goal is to create a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable to share that story whether that be through play or words, and be accepted wherever they are at. I believe that every individual is capable of growth and change and it is my privilege to walk alongside my clients in that process. It is a joy to support my clients and their families through both the big and small challenges that life can bring. My hope is to see my clients build skills and confidence to heal from trauma, engage in meaningful relationships and thrive in every area of their lives.

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, reading, baking and various crafts and creative hobbies.
