Erin McCarthy Shaw, Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatry, PLLC
Are you struggling to reach your full potential in college, despite being bright and capable? I help students who know they're smart but face unexpected challenges in their coursework, campus life, or daily routines. Many students come to me feeling frustrated because traditional academic support services haven't given them the answers or guidance they need.
I provide neuroaffirming care to students who:
- Work incredibly hard but don't see the grades they expect
- Excel in some classes but struggle with organization or meeting deadlines
- Feel they're not living up to their potential
- Want to understand why certain academic tasks feel more challenging than they should
My goal is to bring together all the pieces needed to understand your unique situation – from detailed assessments to blood work to medication consultations – all in one welcoming place. I don't just run tests; I take the time to get to know you, understand your academic and personal goals, and create practical solutions that make a real difference in your college experience.
Whether you're seeking academic accommodations, looking to improve your study performance, or simply wanting to better understand how your mind works, I am here to guide you through every step with clear explanations and meaningful solutions. Beyond assessments, I offer Cogmed Training to help strengthen your working memory, and can provide medication management when appropriate.
