Welcoming Nate Shaw, CSW, to the Purple Sky Counseling Team
We are thrilled to officially welcome Nate Shaw, CSWi, to the Purple Sky Counseling team! Nate brings a grounded, relational approach to therapy, along with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.
Nate holds a Master’s in Social Work from Utah State University and has experience supporting teens, adults, couples, and families through a wide range of challenges including anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and relational conflict. Whether you're walking through a crisis or seeking long-term growth, Nate offers a calm and compassionate presence grounded in evidence-based care.
His approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and deeply attuned to the unique needs of each client. Nate draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and is being trained in EMDR in the fall. He creates space for clients to explore who they are, what matters most to them, and how they want to move forward.
Nate especially enjoys working with:
Teens and young adults navigating identity, anxiety, and life transitions
Couples and families wanting to build healthier patterns and deeper connection
Individuals experiencing religious trauma, existential crisis, or grief
Men’s mental health, fatherhood, and emotional resilience
What makes Nate stand out is his ability to hold space for complexity with warmth, curiosity, and respect. He meets clients exactly where they are, helping them move through pain while also rediscovering their own power and purpose.
“I believe every person is already whole. Therapy is about reconnecting with that wholeness and learning to live in alignment with your values.”
When he’s not in session, you’ll likely find Nate outdoors, reading, listening to music, or spending time with his family. He brings a steady, compassionate energy to our team, and we’re so glad to have him with us.
We’re excited for you to meet Nate and experience his calm, thoughtful approach to therapy. You can learn more or schedule with him by calling us today!
