The Right Fit
At Conscious Connections Counseling, we take pride in being a dedicated team of counselors committed to delivering exceptional mental health care. Our primary goal is to support our clients through counseling sessions and, when necessary, connect them with appropriate referrals. We firmly believe that establishing a genuine connection with your counselor plays a pivotal role in the therapeutic journey.
If, for any reason, you don't feel that connection with your CCC counselor, we are more than happy to provide you with referrals to other professionals who may be better suited to meet your specific needs. Your well-being is of utmost importance to us, and we want nothing more than for you to find a counselor who resonates with you, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care you deserve.

Charity Shaw-Moyado
LCSW, CST
Founder
I love working with people who are ready to invest in themselves and grow. Whether you’re looking to prioritize your well-being, heal from past wounds, or navigate a life transition, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I bring both professional experience and real-life perspective to my work, so I understand that personal growth isn’t always easy—but it is possible. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in strengths-based therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, find clarity, and create meaningful change.
I also provide a sex-positive, affirming space where you can explore intimacy and sexual health without judgment. Supporting the LGBTQ+ community is a core value of mine, and I’m committed to making therapy a safe, welcoming place for everyone.
Outside of the therapy room, you can find me exploring estate sales, crocheting, seeing live music, or spending time with family and friends. What makes me smile the most? Watching my three boys enjoy life and grow into awesome people.

CCATP, ADHD-CCSP
As a therapist, I bring a quirky spin to professionalism and show up as my authentic self. I believe therapy should be a real conversation, sprinkled with humor, challenges where needed, and a touch of psychoeducation. I specialize in anxiety and ADHD, and really enjoy working alongside my clients to help understand their 'whys' while offering practical tools for everyday stressors (drawing from CBT, ACT, & DBT).
I am overwhelmingly passionate about helping people fall back in love with themselves and their lives by tackling pesky obstacles, working with anxious spirals, understanding emotions, and making the realistic changes they crave. Together, we’ll navigate the tough stuff, celebrate victories in-between, and make tomorrow look, feel, and be different.
Carrying the heavy well doesn't mean it isn't heavy, it's heavy. Let's work through the heavy and find a way to put it down. If you want a space to vent, dig deep, better understand yourself, or get out of that uncomfortable comfortable space, I'd love to stand with you and I'm ready when you are. Let's take your life back.
In my spare time I play Fortnite, paint, and fall down rabbit holes of learning about random things.

CMHC INTERN
Life can sometimes feel like a routine on repeat—each day blending into the next, leaving you feeling stuck or unmotivated. If you’ve ever wondered whether things will get better, you’re not alone. Many people experience these feelings, but your journey is unique, and it deserves to be heard.
As a clinical intern, I provide a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll have both meaningful conversations and moments of reflection to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. My goal is to help you build resilience, rediscover what brings you joy, and develop new ways to navigate life’s challenges.
Therapy is not about having all the answers—it’s about creating a space where you can process openly and start seeing things from a fresh perspective. Whether you’re looking for ways to break out of a rut, manage stress, or simply reconnect with yourself, I’m here to support you in finding what works best for you.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. If you’re ready to start exploring what a more fulfilling life could look like, I’d love to work with you.

LSW, PEL
Hi! I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and LGBTQIA+ youth, providing a safe and affirming space to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with school anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, identity exploration, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn, I’m here to help.
Therapy should be a place where you can be your true self—no judgment, no pressure, just real conversations. I bring my authentic (nerdy) self to every session and encourage my clients to do the same. Traditional therapy methods don’t always work for everyone, so I incorporate what you're passionate about—whether it’s art, video games, music, or something else—to make therapy engaging and meaningful for you.
You won’t find me in a fancy outfit or intimidating office; I create a relaxed, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth, and I’ll meet you wherever you’re at on that journey.
No matter what you're facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s figure it out together.
I enjoy playing video games, reading (mostly romantasy) and rewatching tv shows (Vampire Diaries is my go-to).
