About Shannon
For 2015 and 2016, 2017 I was voted as Philadelphia's Best Psychotherapist. I take great pride in this award. So thank you for the reviews and trusting me to work with you! I will continue to work hard to serve you!
I am a Nationally Board Certified Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor. I have trained under some of the best therapists in the field. I worked at Spangdalem Air Base and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. I obtained my Master's of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I am also an ordained minister. My passion is to provide you with tools needed to meet goals that you have set for yourself. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults who suffer from mental health issues such as: ADHD; Depression; Anxiety; PTSD; OCD; Parkinson's Disease; Schizophrenia; Borderline Personality Disorder; Bipolar Disorder; Eating Disorders; Alcohol, Drug, Gambling, Pornography and Sex Addictions; TBI; Stroke; and various other Personality and Mood Disorders. I also work with people who have stress and anxiety, habit and pain control. relationship counseling (pre-marital), stress management, depression, extra-marital affair recovery, abuse issues, and self-esteem issues.
I am a military veteran and served in the Air Force for ten years and also a military spouse. I understand first hand the stress of the working military family and can also provide techniques, coping skills for bereavement and loss of a family member too.

There are many ways we can work together. I can visit you, (if you are within 20 miles from me), we can Skype, and talk on the phone. We can use any communication methods that you prefer. Working online and over the phone provides a comfortable working environment. You are in your own space and there is no need to beat the traffic and rush across town to go to an office. We can talk during your lunch hour or over your morning coffee. I find this method of working to be very easy, my clients actually prefer these methods..
I will use perfected listening skills and a heightened sense of empathy to creatively help you flush out bothersome underlying issues or problematic thinking. Hopefully, you will realize that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. My goal, once we establish a comfortable relationship, is to dedicate myself to helping you find a safe place where you feel confident revealing (and trusting) your innermost feelings/thoughts. Together, we will explore areas of conflict and dissatisfaction enabling you to significantly reshape and resolve these emotional experiences.
Again, I am comfortable working with you in e-mail format, chat, by telephone, or audio visual. I also have a face-to-face practice. Whatever method you choose, together we can figure things out.
