I highly recommend Shannon as a therapist. His supportive and engaged approach to therapy has been instrumental in my progress. What sets him apart is that he doesn't make it feel like just a job; he genuinely cares and invests in my well-being. Shanon adeptly guides our conversations, allowing them to flow naturally and reach meaningful conclusions. Moreover, he respects our time by ensuring sessions end smoothly without feeling rushed or abrupt. I appreciate how he aligns each session with my goals, making our work together purposeful and effective.
