Hello, my name is Dr. Shanel Bishop and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan. As you are the expert in your own life, my aim is to ride alongside you in this journey as we work together. I will assist you overcoming the barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailored towards each person that I work with. I look forward to discovering--with you-- ways to enhance your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and understanding where you are on your journey. Through discussions, activities, and completion of initial paperwork, we will spend time discovering how I can best support you. My goal is to also ensure that you are comfortable, and you have a good grasp of the therapeutic process. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and to share as much as you would like to as we start our time together. From this session, I will work to create a treatment plan (or roadmap) of our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a strengths-based perspective and work to create a safe space where my clients feel heard, understood and supported. I enjoy utilizing your interests and talents to aid you in reaching your goals as well as teaching you through various treatment approaches to aid your growth. I am passionate about the work that I do and am excited to partner with you in developing your full potential as you overcome the barriers that are keeping you from being the person that you want to be.
