Hello, my name is Shannon. I consider myself a caring and insightful therapist who has always had a passion for discovering the beauty in all that I encounter. As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover the beauty of what lies within, your true potential. I work to equip clients with the necessary tools to tackle the world one issue at a time. I work with adults and couples providing a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space for healing and support. As a humanistic and mindful therapist, I help clients gain a better understanding of their emotions and experiences by establishing a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My therapy/counseling service is rendered to you through: - Comfortable and relaxed discussion - Focus on building a collaborative relationship - Therapeutic approach guided by your concerns, indicators, and preferences - During the first session I will gather information about you and how I can help you become your best. It might take a few sessions for me to fully understand your situation and determine the solution-building approach or the best course of action to employ in helping you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I have extensive experience working with clients from various cultural, spiritual, and religious backgrounds. I like to utilize a combination of the following approaches to help aid in addressing the issues identified in treatment: Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide authentic therapeutic support to all individuals and varied experiences. I seek to help end the stigmas and stereotypes of mental health care in Black/Brown communities. If you're not at peace in life it can cause you to feel anxious, worried, uncertain, depressed or even insecure. Through treatment centered around your experiences, we can collaborate on skills to help you live your best life.
