Anthony Shannon

My communication style

I seek to create an active therapeutic relationship by focusing on a gentle approach to treatment. Therapy does not need to be painful, but it does need to feel safe in order to work on tough issues. I also find that laughter can be incredibly healing, and I try to incorporate it when possible.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a therapist because I believe in the beauty of humans. I believe people often suffer alone because the discomforts of the mind isolate us from others. I gain immense satisfaction in helping people find peace.

My goals for you

Clients are the true experts of their own lives. As such, it is necessary for clients to help create reasonable, attainable goals within the parameters of their daily needs.

Our first session

I like to get a nice broad sense of what led the client into therapy. But I also want to know about the client's life: their interests, their preferences, and their support system. I also take time in the first session to provide some information about myself and what therapy looks like working with me.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
