You see what nobody else wants to see. Now what?
I'm Shima Baronian, LMSW, CFSW - an EMDR & trauma-informed therapist serving Buford, GA and all of Georgia via telehealth. I specialize in trauma therapy and financial wellness. Some of what you're carrying is generational. Some of it is what you're choosing to hold onto. Let's work on both.
You're in the right place if...
You're the one in your family who decided things would be different. You've done the reading, the journaling, maybe even some therapy - but something still feels stuck. You're navigating family dynamics that drain you, money patterns that confuse you, and relationships where you're always the one holding it together.
You don't want to spend your sessions explaining your culture, your family structure, or why leaving a toxic dynamic isn't as simple as people make it sound. You want a therapist who already gets it, and knows how to help you move through it.

I’M Shima baronian
I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker with Caribbean roots and a deep belief that healing is both personal and generational.
My work sits at the intersection of trauma therapy and financial wellness - because the two are more connected than most people realize. I use EMDR, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed approaches to help clients process what's been carried too long, build boundaries that actually hold, and create lives that feel like theirs.
This work is personal for me. And that's exactly why I do it the way I do.
