Welcome
Point Allerton Therapy has expertise in anxiety, adhd, women's issues, working with LGBTQ+, HAES | body liberation, other therapists including those in training and consultation/supervision, higher education, life changes, and communication skills in relationships.
Sometimes clients are 'only' dealing with anxiety; sometimes clients are queer, in a master's program training to be a therapist, with anxiety and adhd looking for a HAES provider. I work with people who are dealing with single issues and many issues.
Does this describe you?
​
-
You believe:
-
what you do is never enough or not good enough
-
you need do more or do better
-
you are not enough, inadequate, or an imposter
-
you are too different/weird/awkward/too much
-
you secretly wonder if there is something wrong with you
-
everyone is somehow doing it better than you are
-
you're lazy, even if you are constantly doing things
-
-
You do:
-
a lot of taking care of others
-
have a hard time taking care of yourself
-
you judge yourself
-
"Eating your feelings," and then being upset about it
-
Beat yourself up mentally
-
​Do you have a history of:
​
-
Spending so much energy on all of this that it gets in your way
-
You don't know how to stop doing all of this
-
Everyone or many people tell you how great you are - but you do not believe or see that - and are afraid of being exposed as a fraud or a bad person
-
Were you told a lot in your life that something about you was not ok - either implicitly or explicitly, over and over again? Do you feel that you have internalized those ideas?

Would you like support from an expert in dealing with anxiety, or a combination of anxiety and adhd?
Many people frequently are seeking help with avoiding or procrastinating or not having "motivation" and we can talk about how popular psychology has entirely gotten it wrong about motivation!
Are you seeking help with wanting to always be better no matter how well you are doing? Do you doubt yourself or your decisions? Are you concerned about how well you are doing at school or work and thinking you are not good enough in some way or that you will be "found out"?
Are you always the person that your family or friends turn to for help? Do you always take care of other people first? Are you always trying to meet impossible expectations - usually yours.
If this is a description of the challenges you are facing, and you would like support from an expert in dealing with these issues in a new way, I would be happy to do a free consult to see if we are a good fit.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Hi. My name is T.Lee Shostack. You say my first name like TEElee. My pronouns are They | She | Zee. It's so wonderful to meet you! I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
​
I have been a therapist and social worker in training and practice since 2011.
​​
Let's work on who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming; talk about the narrative that has developed about your life and if that narrative aligns with your values; do you want to explore how the "isms" are affecting you and your mental health? I am passionate about using liberation, justice, healing, affirming and inclusive lenses in my clinical work. Read more of my webpage to have a better sense of how that looks in different areas of my services.

EXPERIENCE
Prior to opening Point Allerton Therapy I worked in community health for a decade.
​​
My history of work in mental health has included working with trauma, medical social work, group, relationship and individual therapy. I have provided group and individual clinical supervision for social workers in group therapy, addictions, adult mental health, and a combination of liberation, social therapy, healing, and emotional growth and development.
My private practice has been open for three years. Running my own practice gives me the opportunity to focus on the work I love the most and find the most satisfying, and I look forward to sharing that expertise with you. I am here to support you to live the life you want, and to become the person you want to become.
