LCSW, 20 years of experience
My name is Shawna Reynolds, and I have been in the social work field for 20 years, and the clinical field for over 15 years now. I was drawn to social work to specifically to help provide a sense of safety, security and stability for youth and families. I bring that same sense of safety, security and stability to my Therapy Practice where using a variety of CBT and TFCBT different modalities I now help adult clients identify areas of self-improvement so that they can make positive behavioral changes in their lives to experience more positive pleasurable emotions such as excitement, happiness and a healthy self-concept.
A welcoming, soothing and safe environment for them to share what they most need help and support around.
I am very kind, caring and a great listener. I am also a strong advocate for my clients when needed and I am very knowledgeable about local programs and resources that may benefit them or their family.
I specifically enjoy working with adults client that are motivated to feel better on a daily basis and that can have a high level of self-awareness about what might be holding them back from realizing their full potential.
I am trained and certified in TF-CBT and use it daily. I am also well versed and educated on the neurobiology of trauma, and both the short-term and long-terms effects of this. I specialize in trauma informed therapy interventions that focus on calming the central nervous system as well as improving emotional regulation.
I am trained and educated in the use of CBT, and have over 15 years of Therapy experience utilizing this method.
I have a background in several areas of social work and clinical work working with both children and adults with developmental challenges. I use a developmental lens, specifically drawing on my professional experience as well as my education and knowledge of Erik Erikson, and what age and stage of development the person is in to currently better understand their psychological conflicts and challenges impacting their interpersonal relationships and to help the client gain self-awareness and make positive interpersonal changes in their lives.

Getting to know myself and understand my own thoughts, seems to be my therapist's goals, not to sure but I'm glad grow therapy came into my life.
