Shawn Yantis, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Shawn!

I'm committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment for exploring pathways to psychological and emotional healing.

My focus

I enjoy working with couples and adults. I specialize in Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral concepts, which focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns to improve feelings and behaviors.

My approach

My approach to therapy is person-centered and is beneficial to couples and those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma, among other challenges.

My communication style

My communication style is direct, honest, and respectful.

My journey to mental healthcare

I didn't grow up knowing that I wanted to be a therapist. I always thought I would work in sports in some capacity. My career never took me that way, and I eventually figured out that I enjoy helping others with their problems.

My goals for you

I'm humbled by the opportunity to help clients work through their adversities and grow into their best versions, leading to their best lives.
