Shea Dickey
Tampa Office

Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern

Here to help you embrace all that you are and work with you to become all that you strive to be. My goal is to provide a safe space to have meaningful, inspiring, and sometimes challenging conversations that lead to you becoming the best version of yourself possible.
Therapy is for EVERYONE.

Ever thought to yourself, Maybe I should talk to someone? I am here to validate and confirm that asking for help doesn’t need to feel uncomfortable or shameful. My goal as a clinician has always been to contribute to the paradigm shift that Therapy is for EVERYONE.

As a Millennial in modern-day America, along with many others, I understand that the struggle is real. I am no stranger to the discomfort, pressure, and sky-high expectations of living in today’s society. I am passionate about working with Adolescents and young adults to navigate this changing world. I have found that despite its negative track record when used strategically, social media can become a tool to inspire and empower us. Let me show you how!

As a queer woman, I am passionate about creating safe and affirming spaces for those who identify under the LGBTQIA+ Umbrella. Whether you are questioning, struggling with identity, or looking to explore your sexuality, rest assured you do not need to do it alone with many years of lived experience and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals at an Inpatient Psych. The facility, my office, is a safe space for you to be unapologetically and authentically yourself.

Are you a self-proclaimed people-pleaser? Have you ever wished you were more assertive or confident? In our lives, we may sometimes find ourselves experiencing compassion fatigue or developing underlying resentment due to poor boundary setting. I am here to educate and assist with identifying characteristics of codependency, poor boundaries, and negative self-talk. Instead, we will work to develop healthy boundaries and alternative behaviors to co-dependency and learn positive self-talk. A foolproof guide to creating and maintaining healthy boundaries and meaningful relationships, if you will. Hard work at first, but you’ll thank yourself later.

I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University and continued to receive my Masters in Social Work From Florida State University. I am currently a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern under supervision while I work towards my clinical license (LCSW). Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings. I previously worked as a Behavioral Health Therapist on a Crisis Stabilization unit, as well as worked as a counselor in an outpatient substance abuse center. Each role gave me experience and lessons that assist my work with clients today.

  • Working with Adolescents, college students, and young adults to navigate life’s challenges.
  • Building self-esteem and developing personalized self-care plans to enhance the quality of life.
  • Learning how to tackle anxiety and depression with grounding techniques, self-care, and the development of self-esteem.
  • Gaining knowledge on attachment styles to enhance platonic and romantic relationships in your life.
  • Learning how to cope with stress from work, college, relationships, family, and lack of self-care.
  1. I am a HUGE Hockey Fan. (Go Lightning!!!) I have also visited 13 out of 32 NHL Arenas. I have made a habit of purchasing a home team puck from every stadium I visit to add them to a display case in my home office. Someday, I hope to visit all 32 Arenas!
  2. I love to travel and visit the US National Parks. Hiking has become an excellent way for me to stay active and appreciate all of mother nature’s wonders. I also love indoor/outdoor rock climbing in my spare time. It has become such a great way to stay active and self-care.
  3. I have a 4yr old long-haired Chihuahua named Kai, who is my entire world. You can often find us hanging in a hammock at Vinoy park. I find reading by the water therapeutic, and Kai enjoys watching the squirrels dodge rollerbladers and bikers on the sidewalks around us.
  4. Although there are technically five love languages, Coffee should be the 6th. As a Pinterest quote once said, “I don’t drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.” During my travels, one of my favorite things is researching the best coffee shops each city has to offer. As a St. Pete local, I am proud to say some of our very own are in my top 10!
