As a licensed therapist in Florida, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, I specialize in working with women who feel exhausted from taking care of everyone else. Many of the women I work with have spent years being the strong one — supporting their families, managing responsibilities, and putting others first. Somewhere along the way, they began to lose touch with their own needs, identity, and sense of self.
You may find yourself wondering, “Why do I feel guilty when I try to prioritize myself?” or “When did I stop knowing what I actually want?” These patterns often show up as anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, or a deep sense of burnout.
My work focuses on helping women reconnect with who they truly are beneath the roles and expectations they’ve carried for so long. Together, we explore the patterns that keep you stuck in people-pleasing, self-doubt, and over-responsibility while building the confidence and self-trust needed to create healthier boundaries and more fulfilling relationships.
I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your inner world, process past experiences, and rediscover your voice. Through our work together, my goal is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected to feeling grounded, confident, and more aligned with your authentic self.
You deserve a life where your needs matter too.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shannon Detwiler. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been working with Ms. Detwiler for about a month now. She does her homework for sure, every meeting I’ve had has been on point, not only in our discussions but also with her ability to provide a worksheet that is exactly what we’re discussing, and even go as far as drawing out a visual aid. She provides the space for me to discuss what I want to and has an uncanny ability to hear exactly what the “trigger” was- shedding light on it in a palatable way that makes me feel seen and understood.
