I’m Shauna del Reed, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor. My belief is simple: every part of who we are matters, influencing our health both mentally and physically. The tension in your shoulders, the racing thoughts at night, the unpredictable energy levels, the moments of irritability or foggy focus, and even the digestive discomfort you might dismiss, all have a story to tell. In our work together, we look beneath the surface to understand what your symptoms are pointing to. Stress, trauma, and lifestyle patterns are often woven together, and when we address them in connection with each other, change becomes possible. I bring both clinical expertise and functional nutrition training to help you create a plan that is as practical as it is restorative. I understand that healing is rarely linear, and it is never one size fits all. For this reason, I utilize a whole-person perspective, combined with compassion and curiosity, to support you in creating a life that feels calmer, more connected, and more aligned with the person you know yourself to be.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can begin building trust and rapport. I take an integrative and functional approach to uncovering the root causes of your challenges, so our conversation will be comprehensive but not overwhelming. We’ll explore your experiences, emotions, and goals for therapy, as well as how factors like nutrition, sleep, movement, and relationships may be influencing your mental health. This session is about understanding your unique story and identifying key areas to focus on as we create a personalized plan to help you feel more balanced and aligned.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to share their stories and begin their healing journey. I take a holistic, integrative approach that considers not just mental health but also the impact of nutrition, movement, sleep, and relationships, ensuring that every aspect of well-being is addressed. By focusing on uncovering root causes rather than just treating symptoms, I offer clients meaningful, long-term relief and transformation. My own experiences navigating life’s challenges allow me to connect with clients on a deeper level, offering empathy and understanding throughout the process. I excel at building trust and rapport, tailoring personalized plans that empower clients to take an active role in their growth. With a unique blend of expertise as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, I am committed to supporting clients in every dimension of their healing while continuously growing and evolving in my practice.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
You’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. You know there is more to life than this constant state of tension, but figuring out where to start feels impossible. Maybe you’ve started to notice how these struggles affect your body, your energy, and your relationships, and you are ready for a different way forward. Some days your body feels wired, other days it feels depleted. Headaches, muscle tension, digestive flares, or restless nights might be part of your daily reality. You may notice shifts in mood or concentration that make it harder to feel present or engaged. I work with people carrying the weight of trauma and chronic stress who are ready for a new approach. Together, we will explore how past experiences, daily patterns, and overall health may be shaping your mental and physical well-being, and uncover the deeper connections behind your symptoms. My approach is whole-person and practical. We pay attention to the many areas that influence your health, including nourishment, rest, movement, relationships, purpose, and creativity. Our work together is collaborative and tailored to your needs, with the goal of helping you find relief, build resilience, and create meaningful change that lasts.
Integrative
My approach is integrative, which means I look at the whole person rather than separating symptoms from the bigger picture of your life. I draw from both clinical and functional perspectives to understand how your mind, body, and experiences are connected. Trauma, stress, nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships, and even a sense of purpose can all shape how you feel. Together, we pay attention to these different areas to uncover what is contributing to your challenges and what can support your healing. This approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you, with the goal of creating lasting change and a greater sense of well-being.
