I was seeking a therapist that was compassionate and understanding, but at the same time direct and solution oriented. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit. I’m very happy so far after my first session.

Shannon was a very respectful and sweet lady. Unfortunately, her method was not what I needed. I felt like there was a lot of assumptions in our sessions rather than more discovery to understand the actual root of the problems Telling someone to "just think positive until you change your thoughts" isn't really a tool in my opinion. I also didn't appreciate that Shannon was a little late to all of our sessions, except for one where I was the one late. If science if what you want, Shannon is for u

This was my first session with Shannon. I appreciate a therapist that helps me to come up with my own solutions, for my problems, because I am more likely to solve my problems with things I know I am willing & capable of doing. Great session, great therapist.
