During a time of many changes, Shannon gave me a safe space to process things and provided me with an outside perspective to view my past and present in a new lens that allowed me to cultivate a better understanding of my sense of self, as well as the tools to be able to maintain and manage things in future. I’m more than grateful. I recommend talking it out and considering therapy to anyone unsure, because you won’t know until you really try, which sometimes means giving things a try more than once.
