Shannon Gaskell

My communication style

My style is gentle and thoughtful. I listen carefully and offer perceptive reflections and questions that help you examine and explore deeper. Promoting introspection and helping you articulate complicated thoughts and feelings is a priority for me in sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own journey into counseling began through experiencing grief and loss as a young teen. The pain and trauma helped develop compassion for others going through something similar. Learning about how our individual lenses are shaped by experiences and the complicated impact of trauma has deepened my passion for helping others develop insight.

My goals for you

The goals we create are your goals—what you would like to work toward, and how you'd like to see growth or change. We'll discuss these early in counseling, but they can be adapted or changed later if necessary to keep them relevant and meaningful to you.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll get to know each other and it's an opportunity for me to learn more of your background and what you're looking for in counseling.
