About me

Hello! My name is Shana Cronican and I completed a Masters in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, a Masters in Social Work with an independent license credential (LISW). With over twenty years of experience, advocacy, education and direct service; my adult life is dedicated to improving the lives of survivors and individuals whom seek guidance and help in order to strengthen their lives, relationships and purpose. I am a tireless advocate for women and girls and other individuals who have experienced violence and/or trauma with expertise in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety and Depressive Disorders, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Childhood Sexual Abuse, LGBTQ and emotional health concerns related to trauma and adversity. I use a number of evidence based models including elements of trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing, mindfulness, physical and emotional holistic wellness. In addition, I recognize the effects of secondary trauma on individuals with partners experiencing trauma, the effects of trauma on community and/or family members and loved ones, social workers, first responders, teachers and any person working directly with traumatic experiences. Reaching out for assistance requires strength and bravery. I'm here to help and guide you on your self directed journey of emotional and physical well being and healing.

Talking to Shana is like talking to a friend. A friend that has no judgement towards you, only care. Because of Shana’s help I have been able to work through a lot of grief, guilt/shame, and identity issues.

Shana is probably the first therapist to actually help me out of any other provider. I could not have gotten through some of the hardest stuff in my life without her help. She gave me tools that I have used to help myself and others deal with anxiety and depression.

I had previously tried therapy in a traditional setting without success. When I recently found the need for it again, Better Help seemed to be a great, affordable option since my insurance wouldn’t cover much.

I feel that based on my survey I was perfectly matched. Shana is able to listen and put the pieces together for me. She has been so helpful when others had over looked things. I feel like I have made real progress with her and she always gives me tools to help with whatever I may talk about in our sessions.

Shana is incredibly thoughtful and kind. She makes me feel respected and listened to, and has helped my trauma in a way that has already improved my life. I look forward to my sessions with Shana as a time for growth.
