Shana Crouse
I have been in the field since 2013, and prior to that worked in direct support with children on the spectrum. I have a passion for helping and supporting others through all aspects of life through theoretical frameworks that best fit their needs. I am a client centered and compassionate provider who enjoys spending time with family, being outdoors, and cooking.

Strengths
As a provider I enjoy building my rapport with client's to best understand which approach will fit their needs. I hold space for client experiences and will utilize empathy and validation to drive self-discovery, and I also will redirect as necessary when needed. I am a gentle and direct provider.
Ideal clients
I have a high interest in clients motivated to engage in treatment and utilize tools to improve overall well-being, from ages 6-99. I have experience with multiple clients navigating life stressors or processing through grief, as well as transitions/adjustments of life.
