In Shanna’s Words:
You are in the right place, at the right time, and doing the right thing. Seeking help is difficult, and finding the right therapist can be challenging. I provide a non-judgmental space for children, adolescents, and adults. Building a trusting, caring, and respectful therapeutic relationship with my client is key to effecting beneficial change. I am committed to listening, understanding, and providing the appropriate specialized treatment to accommodate individual needs.
My approach includes evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), in which the client identifies and breaks destructive patterns and builds more helpful habits. We will work together toward your values and goals and measure your success along the way.
Do not fight this battle alone. If you are ready to overcome obstacles and achieve your personal goals, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am looking forward to starting this journey with you!
Shanna Lavjonne-Brown is a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor under the supervision of board-approved clinical supervisors Catherine Smithmyer, PhD and Barbie Glenn, LCPC.
