Jeanie Shimmin

Hi there, I'm Jeanie!

I work with clients ages 12 to 99, both individuals and couples, helping them navigate life's challenges and find pathways to healing.

My focus

I specialize in working with trauma and PTSD, and I have experience supporting clients with many other concerns as well.

My approach

I use Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary approaches in our work together.

My communication style

I provide a safe space for clients to share their thoughts and feelings openly and honestly. I create an environment where clients can focus on healing and changing in a non-threatening way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love helping people heal from past experiences and improve their quality of life each day. As a daughter of a war vet, I chose to specialize in trauma because I wanted to help others work through difficult memories and move toward healthier thought patterns and stronger relationships.

My goals for you

I work with clients to develop goals they want to meet so they can feel complete and confident in the progress they've made through our sessions.

Our first session

During our first session, I focus on building a healthy therapeutic relationship with you and creating space for you to share what brings you to therapy.
