Shaunie Hewell
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nine years of experience working with individuals ages 15 and up. I offer a warm, collaborative space where clients can slow down, feel supported, and begin to better understand themselves on a deeper level. My work is rooted in helping clients identify and shift long-standing patterns and core beliefs that may be keeping them stuck. I take a trauma-informed, mind-body approach, recognizing that our experiences live not only in our thoughts, but in our nervous system and physical responses as well. Together, we explore both insight and felt experience to support meaningful, lasting change.
The focus of my therapy is to create a safe and meaningful space while exploring how someone’s past may be manifesting in their current day struggles.
I believe therapy is most effective when it goes beyond symptom relief and gently gets to the root of what’s underneath. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, past trauma, relationship challenges, or a general sense of overwhelm, I work alongside you to build awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of connection to yourself. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in your life.
First session
In our first session together you can expect a brief introduction. It is important for me to get to know you through conversation and get to know you beyond your current struggles. I typically have the first few session be focused more so on assessment to gather a thorough history and current stressors.
Strengths
My specialties include trauma, anxiety, depression, anxiety disorders, grief, college-age students, life transitions and relational distress.
Ideal clients
I work with teens, young adults, and women primarily navigating periods of transition, relational issues, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are beginning to recognize patterns in their relationships, thoughts, or behaviors that no longer serve them—often rooted in early life experiences, attachment dynamics, or unresolved trauma. I take an attachment-focused approach to help clients better understand how their relationships and sense of self have been shaped over time, and how those patterns continue to show up in the present. I also support individuals moving through midlife transitions, where old roles, beliefs, and ways of coping start to feel misaligned. My ideal client is curious, open to self-exploration, and ready to look beneath the surface to better understand themselves, heal at the root, and create more intentional, fulfilling ways of living.
