My treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
I am trained and certified in TF-CBT and use it daily. I am also well versed and educated on the neurobiology of trauma, and both the short-term and long-terms effects of this. I specialize in trauma informed therapy interventions that focus on calming the central nervous system as well as improving emotional regulation.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am trained and educated in the use of CBT, and have over 15 years of Therapy experience utilizing this method.
Psychodynamic
I have a background in several areas of social work and clinical work working with both children and adults with developmental challenges. I use a developmental lens, specifically drawing on my professional experience as well as my education and knowledge of Erik Erikson, and what age and stage of development the person is in to currently better understand their psychological conflicts and challenges impacting their interpersonal relationships and to help the client gain self-awareness and make positive interpersonal changes in their lives.

She was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. Shawna took her time to make sure I was okay and had support and validated in my issues and feelings. This is by far the best experience I've had with a therapist, and I cannot recommend her enough. From just our first appointment she's made me feel so seen and cared for by taking action to personalize my support.

I've worked with Shawna before, she is AMAZING!, I trust her so much, I'm free to talk about EVERYTHING with her without judgement. I searched for her for a while, did not want to work with another therapist, actually I didn't have it in me to start over with anyone, having to build trust, open myself back up, was just not going to get therapy any longer, my Dr. Told me where I could find her, I was thrilled, Shawna is truly the best, healing has began again and my life is so much better.
