I have experience working with children as young as 5 thru adulthood. For more than 10 years I have worked in various settings with children, adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, , relationship and family conflicts, grief and loss, behavioral struggles, emotional difficulty and life transitions. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, solution-focused, mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when providing counseling to individuals. Most importantly I want to build a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship with you, so that you feel empowered to make real change in your life. Everyone goes through struggles and challenges in life and I would be honored to come along beside you via Better Help to support you and help you grow. The power to change is within you. You have taken the first next step in your journey to “get to a better place”. It takes courage and being vulnerable to step out and say “I need help” and that is perfectly ok. You are human and life is not meant to be done alone. Be proud of yourself for pursuing what you need. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

Are you tired of the typical run of the mill recovery program? Do you want an alternative to AA/NA directed recovery or are you looking to supplement your AA/NA recovery program? If yes then I am your match! I am the most open minded therapist you will meet. I know how much strength and courage it takes to reach out for help because I myself was once like you. I know how it feels to reveal your vulnerabilities to a complete stranger; and I am living proof that therapy works. My name is Shannon Gaiser MA, LPC, CAADC, CDDAP and have been a practicing therapist since 2004. I have 17 years of experience with specialties in addiction and co-occuring disorders. I am in recovery from opiate addiction and can understand the special needs of these clients. I practice using client centered, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I am open to alternatives to the traditional recovery programs including medication assisted treatment and medical marijuana treatment. I believe everyone's path to a better life is individual. I have worked 9 years in inpatient/outpatient rehabs and 8 years as a private practice therapist for a suboxone doctor. I have experience with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bi-polar d/p, sexual abuse issues and trauma. My experiences have also lead me to work with family recovery to help promote healthy boundaries. I am available for texts, video, and voice sessions. I typically will respond to messages within 5 hours, but could be longer on weekends. It would be my honor to start the journey with you. I will get in the trenches with you and we will find the light together. I look forward to working with you! Shannon Gaiser

I have received extensive academic and professional training in assisting people with chemical dependencies, complex traumas, and with mitigating deviant behaviors. In addition to my LCSW, I was fortunate enough to earn a Master in Business Administration (MBA) which has allowed me to cultivate a more nuanced perspective as it relates to issues around personal/business related financial issues and money management.
