I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for Shannon guiding me and helping me with something called LIFE. She is so knowledgeable and horrendously kind which allows me to freely open up to her about anything I have going on. I’m more than grateful to have been matched with a therapist like Shannon !! <3

Shannon has been fantastic to work with. She’s been helpful in helping me explore my feelings and better understand them. She’s easy to talk to and will remember details from your past sessions. She’s very responsive through the app, and has provided supplemental information and homework that I’ve found valuable.

Shannon is incredible. She listens to me, understands my struggles, and provides me with actionable things to work on. The details of my life she remembers is impressive and makes me feel seen. My life has improved so much in the past year and a big portion of that is due to the therapy she provides.
