ABOUT AMORÉ MENTAL HEALTH
I’m so glad you’re here!
I can’t wait to hear YOUR story.
Why Amoré
My goal is to help each individual that I see leave every appointment feeling loved and having realized their own self-worth and divine potential. I have found that choosing to say yes to love has made the biggest impact in my life. I truly believe that if you make choices from a place of love, you cannot go wrong. If you choose to see others from a place of love, your love and compassion will only grow and in the process, it will heal your soul and help you show up in your own life in a more beautiful way.
Meet Amoré Mental Health Founder, Misty Shields
Studying psychiatry and mental health have taught me so much, but the events of my own life have pushed me to pursue the path of mental health.
I have faced a quite a few trials throughout my life. I grew up with divorced parents, lost my younger brother to suicide, survived brain cancer, was married to an addict, went through a divorce myself, and navigated the incarceration of my children’s father. I have had close friends and family members struggle with ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction. While these challenges have been extremely difficult, they have also been my greatest blessings. I believe that our hard experiences alchemize us for good. My past has turned me into a source to go out and produce good in this world.
My struggles have also taught me so much about God’s love for me and His steady hand in my life. I have learned that choosing love, although difficult at times, is always the answer. For me, truly understanding this concept and allowing myself to feel the power of choosing love, has made all the difference.
By leaning into God, I have been able to take the broken pieces of my life, and turn them into something more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Today, I am the mother to five amazing kids and I am married to an incredible man who inspires me and encourages me to be my best self.
I chose to name my practice Amoré because love is the guiding principle of my life. I want to share the power of choosing love with others and help each person I work with live a life filled with love, purpose, and connection.
If you are feeling hopeless, or not sure where to start, that’s ok! I would be honored to help walk this journey with you and help you live a life you love. Let’s get started!
With love,
Misty
What Others Are Saying about Amoré Mental Health…
“For years, I felt stuck. I was struggling at work, my wife had moved out, and eventually my son did too. I had been in therapy on and off since high school, but nothing ever seemed to truly help long-term. The best I ever felt was years ago when I was in trade school and taking Ritalin—but I stopped it after a while, and life slowly unraveled again.
By the time I came to Amore Mental Health, it had been years of feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, and disconnected from the people I love. Starting medication again, along with therapy, changed everything for me. I can finally focus at work, stay present, and follow through. More importantly, my wife and my son started talking to me again—something I never thought would happen.
For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful and capable. Coming to Amore Mental Health truly changed my life.”

“My anxiety came out of nowhere. One day I was fine, and the next it felt like my world started shrinking. It got so bad that I couldn’t drive, and even the thought of flying became overwhelming. Eventually, I couldn’t even make it to the grocery store. I didn’t understand where it came from or why it kept getting worse.
After feeling stuck and not knowing what else to do, I found Amore Mental Health. Starting medication and therapy gave me the support I didn’t even realize I needed. Little by little, things started to change. I can drive again, I’m functioning, and I’m beginning to show up in my life in ways I thought I’d lost.
I’m not ‘fixed’ overnight—but I am getting better, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I have my life back.”
