LCSW, 11 years of experience
Has life thrown overwhelming challenges at you? If you're suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, or general life transitions - my goal is to help you understand that your experiences are valid and worth addressing. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address specific needs and goals.
In our first session together we will discuss general policies for our time and I will gather more information about your presenting issues. My goal on the first appointment is also to build rapport and ensure that we are a good personality fit for each other. Without a good rapport and alliance, it may become difficult to discuss hard truths and uncomfortable topics as time goes on, so getting to know each other is a priority for me and hopefully for you too.
Having worked in the behavioral health field for over 10 years, I have been able to have a diverse set of clients with a diverse set of presenting issues. What makes me unique is that I focus on going slowly as we get to know each other. I want to ensure that as we discuss really difficult topics we are taking time to learn grounding techniques to help navigate the intense emotions that may come up as a result of sharing. I also take the time to send book suggestions, trackers, helpful videos, and journal prompts if necessary.
I love working with young professionals, mothers, individuals who are experiencing great change and transition in their lives, individuals who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, individuals who tend to intellectualize their feelings, and most of all - individuals who are ready to do some self-exploration.

Shannon has had such a positive impact on my perception of therapy and its effectiveness. I've tried and quit therapy in the past multiple times due to not feeling adequately heard and understood. Not only does Shannon actively listen, but she presents different techniques and approaches to navigate challenging situations while also empowering you to find ways to improve and navigate your own life and self discovery.

Mrs. Carroll is the most genuine therapist I've ever had. She provides me with the tools I need to maintain balance and peace, work through my trauma and fears, and succeed in my healing journey.

I prefer to use a variety of treatment methods with my clients. I have received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). "One shoe does not fit all" so I like to take time to get to know my client and have a true understanding of their needs before committing to one specific modality or treatment intervention.
