HELENE SHUTE, LLC
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA

I’m a psychotherapist, but you might also call me an advocate of YOU, a supporter of play, and a permission granted to stop juggling your life! I help people begin to transition to where they want to go in life but struggle to because they feel locked in the pattern of their current life. Things such as anxiety, perfectionism, and having unhealthy boundaries have caused them to place their life on a pause button. I’m passionate about increasing their ability to push the play button on the life they have longed and dreamed about. My clients thank me for starting off as their biggest cheerleader but then passing the baton so they become their own #1 fan! My approach is straightforward and I say it as I see it. If something feels off, I bring it up. Ignoring it gives it further permission to stay stuck. You entered therapy for movement! We both show up, talk, and listen. Permission to Press the Pause Button You already feel like you’re doing everything alone. Figuring this out doesn’t have to feel that way. For years you’ve probably been telling yourself you’ll finally figure it all out. You push yourself harder to get it all done perfectly. Inside anxiety and an ongoing critical voice keep showing up. Asking for help means you’ve failed. Everyone will know. You try to silence it all. Hi! My name is Helene Shute. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people find their voice in life and feel empowered to commit to never silence it. I work with women, men, and couples who are struggling to see they are unable to live the lives they desire because they feel like they are drowning and overwhelmed by all their life roles. Instead of feeling connected in their relationship they feel like an island surrounded by water with not a person in sight. Together we’ll find what has worked and grow from there and identify what has been in the way and work towards moving past those barriers. Doing this work, inside and out of the office moves us closer to you feeling a life of happiness and peace. Change has already begun. You’ve noticed life isn’t working how you need it to. Further change happens when you give yourself true permission to look at your life, breathe in what growth needs to occur and exhale feelings of self-doubt, resentment and fear.
