Dr. Shané P. Teran
With over 20 yrs experience in the mental health field, I believe it shouldn't be so complicated to live outside of the survival-mode loop. Now more than ever, people have been bombarded with a lot of negative and fear-driving events that only add to their individual life stressors. Let's stop the overflow of stress together.
I take a "make it make sense approach" and between laughter and even some tears, I enjoy helping my clients create a new path that may have once seemed impossible.

First session
Effective and long-lasting results, specific to each person is my passion. With the use of evidence-based treatment options, e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and trauma informed care, I use a holistic approach (mind-body-spirit) to guide you to dump the mental traffic jam, take back control of your mind, and rebuild new stress/anxiety-reducing habits that last a lifetime. As someone who climbed the ladder in my profession while dealing with life, as if it wasn't affecting me, I know that getting the best results from our time together comes from showing up exactly as you are. No superwoman/man cape, no pretending that everything is ok. But truly show up in ways that you might have never been allowed before, and watch what happens next. It may seem like you'll unravel and not being able to function at home or at work if you open up, but that's not the case.
Strengths
Over two decades of experience, 11yrs of which were in Veteran mental health care, I'm a firm believer that when you trust the process, it all works out. I have built a practice from personal experience with trauma, a chronic medical condition, and little to no resources to make it work, yet I did. I lean on my faith, being in therapy myself, and attending to all areas of wellbeing. That has been the secret sauce for me, and I'd be honored to help you find exactly what you need to thrive.
Ideal clients
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, new relationships or easily triggered by unresolved trauma that affects your ability to show up at work, amongst friends & family, or every time you try to make a change in your life? Do you feel at a loss of how to get out of an endless cycle of waiting for the weekend, exhausted, and easily frustrated with just about everything distracting you or making you want to hide under the covers? I've been there before myself and know how to help.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues, including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to help you identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy (MBT) is a therapeutic approach that combines mindfulness practices with principles from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It aims to help individuals manage stress, pain, and mental health challenges by cultivating present-moment awareness and acceptance. MBT is used to treat various conditions, including chronic pain, stress, and depression relapses.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered means prioritizing the individual's needs, preferences, and goals in care or planning. It emphasizes treating each person with dignity and respect, empowering them to make choices about their own lives and participate in decisions that affect them. This approach focuses on understanding the individual's unique perspective and supporting them in achieving a meaningful and fulfilling life.
