Shannon is a great therapist. She does a wonderful job of making me feel really comfortable. Coming into therapy was a new experience for me and I was very anxious about it, but Shannon calmed my nerves immediately. She may tell the honest truth and push me to places that are uncomfortable, but I know she has my best interest at heart. She assigns homework and send me tests to take to keep me engaged, which I find to be very helpful. Shannon always makes time for me and responds in a timely manner. Overall, she is a great fit for me and she is very talented at what she does.
