Shannon Di Virgilio, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Shannon!

I'm really glad you're here. Whatever brought you to this page, I want you to know you're not alone. I work with teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic pain or illness. When you're ready, I'm here.

My focus

You might look fine on the outside but be quietly struggling. Maybe it's memories you can't shake, a loss that still stings, worry that won't quiet down, or feeling like you're not enough. I help people in exactly that place move from just getting through the day to feeling like themselves again.

My approach

My approach is tailored to each person because no two people are the same. I draw from trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and ACT to help you build a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. We'll work together to find what fits you best.

My communication style

Therapy with me feels like a real conversation between two people working toward the same goal. I'll ask questions, reflect back what I'm hearing, and share honest feedback, always with warmth and without judgment. You guide the direction; I help you get there.

My journey to mental healthcare

People have always come to me to talk, and I've always wanted to show up for them. That naturally led me to counseling. I became an LPC because I believe everyone deserves to be truly seen and heard. Watching people grow and change through that experience is what makes this work matter.

My goals for you

From our very first session, we'll work together to identify what you want from therapy. I believe you are the expert on your own life, so your definition of success is what matters most. As you grow, your goals can too. We'll adjust as needed and take time to recognize the progress you're making.

Our first session

Our first session is really just a chance to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, a little about your background, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. We'll go at your pace and build from there.
