About Us

" Hello, Im Shannon Secrist! Im a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I have a passion for working with people in all stages of life. My approach to therapy is client centered, open minded, non-judgmental with compassion and empathy. I believe everyone deserves a life worth living! I have a very eclectic approach to therapy through a trauma informed lens. I recognize people want to feel better quickly and I pull from evidenced based practices of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Relaxation, and Reality Therapy. ", " I always knew I wanted to help people from a very early age. What that looked like changed a dozen times before I decided on a career. I do this work because its vital to hold space for people who dont have another human, they can trust to share their innermost thoughts and feelings without being judged. ", " Im driven with the knowledge, that mental illness doesnt decipher between black and white, rich or poor, sick or healthy, it just happens, and when it does people need a safe space to heal. My hope, my goal is to be that space for others. Its a beautiful gift to be a part of another humans healing process! "
