Shannon Hamilton, LCPC, LPC — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Shannon!

I take a very person-centered and trauma-focused approach to my practice. I have worked with all age groups and have a focus on addictions, trauma, attachment disorders, as well as anxiety and depression.

My focus

I typically work with adolescents and adults. I am very comfortable treating addictive disorders, trauma, personality disorders, and attachment disorders.

My approach

Person-centered and trauma-focused. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Sand tray, and art to assist clients in learning to manage emotions and heal through their lived experiences.

My communication style

I take an empathetic and supportive role in the sessions with clients. I provide feedback and assist clients in gaining self-efficacy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career as a case worker and quickly realized that I would like to take a more personal approach to how I assist clients in gaining a sense of control in their lives. I have been in therapy myself and realize the importance of having a safe space to heal.

My goals for you

I will work collaboratively with you in goal setting, allowing you to take the lead in your care.
