Founder/Clinical Director

It takes a lot of strength to show up for yourself in a new vulnerable way. I’m happy you are here. As a clinician, I enjoy working with values of curiosity and collaboration. You are the expert of your life and allowing for curiosity and collaboration as a team we can find ways to support your needs, sustainably. I have the past experiences of providing trauma-based therapy for individuals of all ages; supporting parents through many life transitions; among many other experiences that allow guidance and perspective to support clients.

It’s important for you to know that I’ll never say I have the answers, but what I can offer is a listening ear and strategies to support where you would like to be in life. Through working together we will explore different sensory techniques, and mindful-based tools to span across all areas of your life. So, whether you are in need of support at work due to stress, relationship-building skills, assistance with anxiety and/or depression, self-esteem; or, simply encouragement for your next step in life, I am in your corner. We will work through your concerns together.

Hi! My name is Erin Shannon, and I specialize in working with children, teens, and college-aged students as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional well-being. I have experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management, grief, emotional regulation, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I also have a strong passion for working with athletes and understand some of the unique pressures that can come from balancing sports, academics, and personal life.

I believe that therapy should feel engaging, supportive, and tailored to each individual client and their needs. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, social-emotional learning, and other creative, experiential approaches within my sessions. My main goal when working with clients is to create a safe, authentic space where you feel comfortable being yourself without fear of judgment. I strive to help clients build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and feel more empowered in navigating everyday stressors and challenges.

I believe therapy should meet clients where they are while helping them grow into the healthiest and most confident version of themselves.

Clinician

Jennie has a true gift for helping women feel seen, supported, and empowered. She understands how intimidating it can be to take that first step into therapy, and she creates a space where her clients can feel safe, encouraged, and ready to grow. She especially loves walking alongside women of all ages as they navigate life transitions, rebuild self-esteem, work through anxiety or depression, and heal from trauma.

What stands out most about her is the way she helps women quiet self-doubt, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with their authentic selves. She blends evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT with a compassionate, collaborative style that makes each session both practical and empowering. Her goal is for clients to leave therapy not only with tools they can use in daily life, but also with a renewed sense of hope and confidence.

For her, therapy isn’t just about working through challenges, it’s about transformation. She truly believes, as C.S. Lewis said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
