I am an Australian qualified social worker living in the US since 2015. I spent most of my career in child welfare and family support roles before getting licensed. Just like you i've been on a journey of emotional and spiritual growth, and I have the ability to deeply empathize with how someone is thinking and feeling. It all starts with the mind and heart.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a wife, mother, and Air Force Veteran with a passion for working with trauma survivors. I served in the Air Force for 11 years and endured multiple deployments to various locations. As a Veteran, I understand the struggle of coming home from deployment and readjusting to "normal" life despite the experiences in a deployed location. It can be hard to find someone who understands the unique culture of military life. After my separation in 2011, I experienced the other side as a military spouse and found a true passion in helping my fellow veterans and their families navigate their journey through life. As someone who understands the struggles of dealing with anxiety and trauma experiences, I work hard for my clients to help them find peace and content in their lives and futures. I provide a safe, empathic, and understanding environment where we can explore your world, your struggles, and how to bring the darkness into light.

I believe clients have a wealth of information and knowhow on how to solve their own problems but have become stuck for one reason or another. I meet the client wherever they find themselves and build from there. The work in sessions is gradual and in step with the client. In every session, beginning in the first session, goals will be set and the client, together with the therapist, will work towards those goals through exercises. Examples used in session are often drawn from client’s personal experiences on overcoming past difficulties and hardships, positively. Mindfulness and meditation will be part of some or all sessions. If the client is willing to work on past traumas, anxieties and phobias, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing or EMDR will be offered. Cognitive Behavior Therapy or CBT and its exercises will be part of all or some sessions.

My philosophy is to meet each client where they are and work with them in finding solutions. Pragmatism is the name of the game. Each client is an individual with specific needs and my job is to empower clients through education as well as introspection. My greatest goal is to help others develop into healthy and whole individuals, and to embrace life’s journey. During the therapeutic process, I empower the client to discover their own resiliency, while at the same time directing the client into a safe path of self-discovery. Attaining self-actualization and finding your own strength is the ultimate goal. I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, family issues and working with changes in life.

“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” ~Maya Angelou~ I believe there are times in a person's life when they need a trustworthy ally who offers integrity, understanding, and nonjudgement. I believe this is also someone who can help another person explore the causes of his/her/their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors and develop new ways of thinking, acting and feeling. I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families achieve these goals in an environment that emphasizes confidentiality, respect, trust, and compassion. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral issues. I have extensive experience with people diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and personality disorders. If you need guidance, a sense of peace, and someone to listen; you've come to the right place. I look forward to working with you on your goals.

My name is Shawna Sunday, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background working with individuals that have experienced trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems. I very much like a positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life, and it starts with improving self-esteem and good self-care. I like a person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge, we go at your speed, and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy. What you can expect from our first session My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. Rapport building initially, and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable.
