Getting to know Michael Shannon

Hi there, I'm Michael! Having difficulty navigating life's stressors? You are not alone. I can help you move forward in ways to help manage anxiety or stress. My goal for each person is to see a path forward from where you are today to who you want to be tomorrow. My focus Whether you are a young adult navigating early adulthood or for those with more experience in life unsure about what to do next, together we can find helpful solutions to help you move forward and thrive. My approach I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify negative thought patterns to help you move toward feeling more in control. My communication style I practice from a clear and openminded environment. I utilize active listening to help hear and reframe while providing time to reflect on what was said and how you felt in the moment. My journey to mental healthcare My path to therapy began after my military experience; I saw first hand the need of therapy and healing that took place. Helping others get the help they need is something that moves me. I believe that everybody needs help sometimes in their life and whatever you think defines doesn't have to be so. My goals for you The sole focus of your goals starts with you. Together, we can find out what goals you want to work such as: personal growth, relationship building or self-esteem. Our first session Your first therapy session will be a relaxing, no pressure environment where we learn about what brought you into therapy. Nervousness is common when discussing uncomfortable situations/events, but I plan to work at your pace only discussing what you want to share when you feel comfortable doing so.
