Shanna Pickren

My communication style

My practice is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a deep respect for each person's unique story.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked in high-pressure environments—emergency departments, correctional facilities, and psychiatric units—which have shaped my calm, steady approach to even the most complex challenges. I also served as the Military Sexual Trauma Coordinator, where I supported veterans through some of their most vulnerable moments.

My goals for you

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you. I use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your needs, and I believe in the power of collaboration and trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Our first session

Our first session will be each of us getting to know each other to determine if we are a good fit for therapy. We will discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. From there, we'll continue to build our work together over time. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
