Shirley Savage-Hampton

Shirley Savage-Hampton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns like low self-esteem, caregiver strain, isolation, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Shirley uses an integrative approach that draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, client-centered conversation, and dialectical behavior strategies to shape each person’s plan. In sessions she helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, encourages self-reflection, and teaches concrete coping skills. Examples include mindfulness practices for concentration, structured goal-setting for motivation, and skill-building exercises to boost confidence.

People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the therapist listens first and adapts interventions to individual needs. Shirley avoids labeling and instead clarifies goals together so work stays focused and relevant. She aims for short-term actions that make daily life easier as well as longer-term changes when those are needed.

With ten years of clinical experience, Shirley brings steady support for both sudden crises and ongoing stressors. Her Nevada LCSW credential is part of her background and practice in the region. Sessions are conducted in English and she is not accepting international clients at this time.
