Selden Psych

Hi, I'm Shay! (They/He). I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who provides neuroaffirming, culturally conscious assessment and psychotherapy services that help reframe unhelpful narratives. My approach is shaped by my own lived experience, as well as my specialized training and clinical work with marginalized and stigmatized communities. I came to this field from many points of lived experience, having always felt a bit "too complicated" for the neat boxes the world tried to fit me into. Reflecting my love of precise language, I identify as a mixed-race, Black, AuDHD/neuroqueer, non-binary, transmasc human. These words have, and will likely continue to, change over time, but I’ve always been this person in one way or another. My experiences have shown me that not everyone will "get it," but my journey to finding these words showed me that some people will. That kind of authentic connection to self and others is what drives my passion for working with folks on their own journeys of self-discovery and community connection. I earned a doctorate in clinical psychology as well as a master’s in human sexuality from Widener University in 2017. I have specialized training in working with complex trauma and attachment, multicultural issues, sexuality and gender, & neurodivergence, such as Autism, ADHD, PDA profiles, and giftedness/twice-exceptionality (2e).
