Shannon Secrist

My communication style

I've been described as warm, caring, friendly, accepting, and patient. I approach therapy with humility and see it as a privilege that you're courageous enough to share your story with me. I strive to provide a safe environment to explore, grow, and learn so you can become the best version of yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew I wanted to help people. I do this work because it's vital to hold space for people who need a human they can trust to share their innermost thoughts without being judged. My hope is to be that safe space for others. It's a beautiful gift to be part of another human's healing process!

My goals for you

You're ultimately in charge of your goals. My job is to guide you in identifying the steps to reach them and assist you in recognizing the process it takes to get there. Together we can identify and address barriers, adjust as needed, and openly discuss what may be blocking your progress.

Our first session

The first session will be spent getting to know what brought you to therapy, your history, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll also discuss what life will look like when therapy is no longer needed. You'll have an opportunity to ask questions about the therapeutic process.
