Hi! I am Shauna. I view mental health as a collaborative process from goal setting to conquering goals. We have different ways we relate to society and the impact it has on us. No one path is the same and there are obstacles we have to overcome. I meet each individual where they are emotionally and mentally to provide the individual to share their vulnerabilities in a brave and safe space. I focus on strength-based and solution-focused therapy in order for the individual to be motivated for the next life transformation. I implement effective evidence-based psychotherapy methods to instill engagement, psychoeducation, and empowerment to assist clients in adopting a new attitude and feeling towards self and life circumstances. We all have trials and tribulations, and you are not alone in navigating your way through life. I understand how life can get you weighed down and feeling overwhelmed. Seek me even when you are unsure, contemplating seeking assistance, or ready to spread your wings and fly again.

I have been in social services field for over 20 years. I have worked with clients experiencing developmental and intellectual disabilities and severe and persistent mental illnesses. I often times works with those experiencing co-occurring disorders. Over the last two decades, I have assisted children and adults in group home settings, residential treatment facilities, and community-based settings. My career progressed and has moved from a direct support professional to a case manager to a clinical therapist to supervisory and quality assurance work. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Ursuline College and a Master’s in Social Service Administration (MSSA) from Case Western Reserve University. As a clinical social worker, I currently focuses on facilitating individual and family therapy, with a focus on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

This is not just a job for me, I am on a mission to help empower women in all areas of life. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and challenged. Therapy is a partnership, and I’m here to show up for you, offering support and guidance as you work toward healing and growth. I have experience working with several populations and multiple different settings. With my experience and training, I filter through my rolodex of tools (better than an AI) and help my clients in ways specific to the person in front of me. I do not believe in one treatment modality. I have trainings in several areas so that I can help people in many different ways, unique to the person. The methods I utilize most are Trauma Focused CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Client Centered Therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems).
