LCSW, 10 years of experience
My name is Shannon Pavas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. My hope is to assist you in working through whatever is in your way so that you may not only achieve your personal goals, but also learn to appreciate yourself and your life's journey. Whether you are experiencing severe anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, or need to work through a specific dilemma, I will provide a safe and comfortable environment. I sincerely believe we all have the power to heal ourselves and to live happy and fulfilling lives, regardless of our past experiences.
During our first session we will review your reasons for seeking treatment and discuss goals. We will review the therapeutic process and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
I will provide a safe and comfortable environment. I sincerely believe we all have the power to heal ourselves and to live happy and fulfilling lives, regardless of our past experiences. As a therapist, I work from a person centered approach. My role is to provide support and guidance as each individual navigates through the therapeutic process, which is different for everyone.
I have worked with a variety of ages and situations, including adolescents, adults, and couples. Over the years I have worked in child welfare services, in school settings, and in a private practice. All of these experiences have allowed me to acquire a wide understanding of human emotional needs.
I utilize CBT techniques often, but work from a person centered approach, and utilize whatever tools each individual client may need.
