Bio: Pryor Shade is a veteran, educator, and artist who understands the struggles that we as humans can experience, trying to fit in, earn a living, access resources, develop relationships, and appreciate our own value as creative beings. Along the way I have learned a great deal about humility, about the need for curiosity and a desire to acquire new knowledge and skills. It’s not so much about having the right answer, but to help people share their story and feel heard, seen and valued. One of the greatest lessons I have acquired along the way is to get out of my own way: to let go of my agenda, and be an active participant in the process. No matter what the task, a collaborative approach tends to be far better than a mission executed by an army of one. I hope to help people who have had difficult life experiences and wish to develop a positive and affirming frame for moving forward. Pryor is supervised by Dr. Shelly Stratton, PhD, LCSW #L7252.
