Shauna Weaver
I'm a licensed professional counselor who works primarily with women, moms, and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in people-pleasing. I offer a warm, validating, and integrative approach to therapy, grounded in mindfulness and trauma-informed care.
I also bring lived experience with anxiety, ADHD, and chronic illness, which shapes my work with empathy, flexibility, and respect for the mind-body connection.
My goal is to help you feel more at ease in your mind and body while providing you with a toolbelt that supports real change.
First session
First sessions are a gentle starting point, in which the only item on the agenda is to begin to get to know one another. I'll want to know what's been weighing on you, what has or hasn't helped in the past, and what you're hoping for moving forward. There's no expectation for you to share everything at once -- instead we'll go at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, grounded, and a little less alone.
Strengths
Clients often share they feel deeply understood and at ease in our work together. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches to help you better understand your inner world and develop tools that feel practical and supportive. I also bring lived experience with anxiety, ADHD, and chronic illness, which shapes my work with empathy, flexibility, and respect for the mind-body connection.
Ideal clients
I'm especially well suited to work with moms, women, and twenty-somethings who are carrying a lot -- whether that's anxiety, mom guilt, people-pleasing, chronic stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel exhausted from trying to do everything "right" or feel as though they're "not enough." They're often seeking relief from overwhelm, more self-compassion, and a steadier sense of confidence and calm in their everyday lives.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I help clients consider and understand their current struggles in light of their attachment styles, sense of security to close others, and how these things contribute to unconscious assumptions.
Biofeedback
Through mindfulness I help clients pay attention to what their bodies are telling them in terms of how they're experiencing a moment or situation, and likewise how they can communicate with their bodies through body-based practices.
Eclectic
Rather than using the same specific techniques and approaches on every client, first I seek to develop an understanding of their unique situation and then consider which technique or approach would be most therapeutic.
