These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shannon Gollner. 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.
Shannon has both clinical expertise and lived experience that are invaluable to me. I highly recommend engaging with her, especially if you're experiencing grief and loss.

Can’t say good enough things about Shannon! Couldn’t have went through this without her!

Extremely easy to talk with. Takes the time and sends extra reading material, which I find extremely helpful. I’ve had other therapists in the past and hands-down better than anyone I’ve talked to.

Sometime all you need is someone to talk to. Shannon is amazing. She listened she encouraged and she gave me wonderful direction. Not once did I ever feel judged not once did I feel attacked. She helped me recognize the trauma the depression the PTSD and the grief that would circle violently in my head. The books she recommend gave me the insite to recognize my trigger and to listen with my ears, gave me the strength to set healthy boundaries and continue to grow in my faith. The new habits and boundaries were hard at first and I got some negative lash back from friends family and employees. The person they thought they knew had changed. Once I started changing my habits and setting my boundaries I noticed with the help of Shannon that I personally started feeling better, friends and family started growing closer, my employees started holding themselves more accountable. Once you decide to take that step and get the help, thats when the healing beings. They are not there to solve all your problems they are there to listen to guide you and give you the tools to start yourself improvement your healing journey. I will be scheduling another session with Shannon.
The video therapy sessons were great and I appreciate Shannon taking the time to speak with me. My situation wouldnt of changed if I hadn't reached out and I have become the man I knew I could be.
Thankyou for your kindness patience and understanding. You gave me the tools and direction I needed to start this journey.

She’s a wonderful therapist. I feel genuinely heard when I talk to her, and she shows up for me in a way that feels consistent and supportive. I feel comfortable opening up, and our sessions feel like a safe space where I can be honest and vulnerable.

Shannon is so easy to connect with. I’m new to therapy but the two sessions I’ve had with her have completely flown by. She makes me feel comfortable and heard. I honestly wish I had more time in each session to talk to her, I look forward to my sessions with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.
