Shanae Stover

My communication style

Creating a safe, supportive environment is at the core of my practice. I communicate with empathy, authenticity, and without judgment to foster trust and openness. My clients can expect sessions that feel collaborative, respectful, and empowering, where they feel truly heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a social worker felt like a natural fit because the profession aligns deeply with my values—advocating for justice, respecting self-determination, and fostering cultural competence. My own life experiences, including the adversities I've overcome, have shaped the empathy, understanding, and non-judgment I bring into every session.

My goals for you

I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives. Together, we clarify your reasons for seeking therapy, identify meaningful goals, and map out a plan for progress. My goal-setting approach is collaborative and grounded in your self-determination, ensuring that each step aligns with your values and priorities.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll take the time to get to know each other and begin building trust. I'll ask about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any challenges you're currently facing. This is an opportunity for us to explore your expectations, discuss how therapy can support your needs, and ensure my practice is a good fit.
