Bobbie is a fantastic therapist and I cannot recommend her enough. When she gives you worksheets and handouts, take the time to do them thoughtfully and thoroughly. She chose them for a reason and you will get out of it 10x the effort you put in.

Taking a step with Better Health was the best gift I've given myself in 51 years. I was matched with Bobbie Shannon who I immediately connected with, felt safe with, and easily opened up to. She exudes gentleness, warmth, empathy and kindness. She really took the time to understand what I most need to heal in my life without judgement and much compassion. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed to ask for support but quickly realized with Bobby's support, and the resources she provided me, that I have made very normal choices in my life for a person who has lived through much trauma. Bobby helps me connect to the part of me that feels wounded, and give love to myself. I've learned skills I will use forever. I always look forward to my sessions with eagerness. Bobby is the very best I've ever worked with. So grateful.

Bobbie is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She has so many different ways of approaching the challenges that I present to her. She listens intently and I always feel seen and heard after our sessions. She has a compassionate and yet no nonsense way of delivering her messages that make me feel like I’m not being babied, but respected. I really enjoy my sessions with her.

Bobbie is brilliant. She is kind, patient understanding and incredibly empathetic. I was a bit cagy about starting counseling and Bobbie helped me feel comfortable enough to be honest with her. I really value her perspective and insight. Since starting with her 2 weeks ago I have already changed my perspective on things and am less critical of myself because of the advice I have received.
