Shawna is an incredible therapist, active listener, and problem solver. She helps me come up with solutions in a way I've not had a therapist guide before. Very thankful for her help

Shawna is a compassionate listener and I always feel completely at ease while speaking with her. She has always made herself available when I needed to talk, and I am able to discuss my problems with her which have always been difficult for me to do with people in the past. Keep up the great work Shawna.
