I have had an incredibly positive experience with Shannon as my therapist. From our very first session, Shannon has been compassionate, understanding, and highly professional. She creates a safe and welcoming environment where I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. Her insightful guidance and empathetic listening have made a significant difference in my mental health journey. Shannon is not only an exceptional therapist but also a genuinely caring person. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support and guidance.

From the moment Shannon started speaking I knew I was in good hands. Not only does she possess patience and compassion, but a deep insight that some people, like me, need when they're sorting through all the wreckage. I always feel better when I talk to her and she always provides me with coping methods, ways to help me ground myself, and tools for success. I am grateful for her.

When I started using BetterHelp I matched with another therapist and while she was great, I just didn’t get to the healing that I needed. I decided to give it another shot and I was matched with Dr.Gordon. I have seen many therapist (Online and in person) and Dr. Gordon is the only one that I feel has truly made an impact on me in such a short time. I’m grateful to have been matched with her and she’s absolutely great at what she does. Thank you for being a light for others!
