As a newbie to therapy and the wounds of my inner child and what it looks like to heal those parts of myself, it was a relief to meet Shannon. Getting your shit together feels so intimidating, but she’s incredibly friendly and resourceful! I feel comfortable with her and that’s so important when needing to explore yourself. Highly recommend!
