Therapy for Nerds, Overthinkers, and People Figuring Stuff Out Let's be real… trying therapy can feel weird. It's easy to worry it might be awkward, overly clinical, or just another place where you have to filter yourself. Not in sessions with Dr. Kyler Shumway. He creates a space where clients can show up exactly as they are, whether that means diving into deep emotions, cracking jokes to cope, or using Star Wars analogies to make sense of life. (Enjoy LOTR, D&D, video games? You're in good company.) Dr. Shumway's goal is simple: to help people live the kind of life they actually want. He supports clients as they navigate whatever's weighing them down-without judgment, pressure, or psychobabble. Whether someone is dealing with anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, or simply feeling lost, he works collaboratively to find real strategies that actually fit their life.
