Pantra Shafaee-Hoeft, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a current School Social Worker specializing in evidence-based treatment for adolescents using a multi tiered system (MTSS) approach in the school setting.. I have been working with children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 18 years. I provide both counseling and assessment services for children, adolescents, and adults. I have a School Service Personnel Certificate K-12 (Type 73 Certification) in elementary, middle, high school and special education. I have facilitated and conducted comprehensive evaluations for Individualized Education Plans and 504 evaluations at every educational level. I have conducted risk assessments and crisis management services to adolescents and adults.

I have various clinical capacities in the social services/psychological fields. I also have speciality working with amateur athletes struggling with confidence, frustration tolerance, and performance anxiety. I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. With a passion for supporting neurodiversity, I provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals and families to learn and thrive. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.
