My name is Shannon Gooch and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. I have extensive experience working with adults, families, at risk youth and adolescents. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling. My love for working with people and families in crisis has led me to practice as a counselor. My experience as a wife and mother has helped me become more relatable. Working in various practice settings has led me to be detail oriented, forward- thinking, and thorough. I strive to provide the same level of service to my clients as I would expect for myself. I am well versed in my profession and take pride in my work. My experiences have allowed me to develop a greater appreciation for helping others define their meaning of life and identify purpose. I am looking forward to partnering with you to help you find solutions.

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

I aim to assist you with identifying your goals and solutions in a safe, non-judgmental setting. I view counseling as an instrumental tool in helping clients become aware of their thoughts, find solutions to their issues and self-regulate their mood.

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

I specialize in complex trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, social skills training and behavior management. Through self exploration, I can assist you in understanding not only your root issues but also possible solutions and new skills to move forward. Life experiences shape us and can spill over into adulthood and many areas of life. Therapy can assist with diving deep into issues and and changing a person’s outlook and motivation.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I prefer to work with individuals needing help with relationship issues, communication, depression, anxiety, coping, grief and major life changes.
