Getting to know Shane Pierson

Hi there, I'm Shane! Are you adjusting to a recent life event? Or have you been wanting to change your thoughts, actions, or feelings for years? Let's walk your path forward. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Before practicing therapy in 2023, I worked in this field since 2018, with experience in crisis, hospital, residential treatment, and detox settings. My focus While I have experience with a wide range of conditions, I most commonly work with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and trauma in a way that makes sharing the trauma story itself optional. My clientele also includes some who identify as "not the type to see a therapist" or who haven't found their past therapists' styles a good fit. My approach I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which is effective for short, moderate, and long-term therapeutic needs. This therapy focuses on the future - accomplishing the change you seek in your life, rather than focusing on the problems that led you to seek therapy. These enacted changes then often lessen or resolve past problems and pain. My communication style Our sessions would be collaborative, non-judgmental, and compassionate, often with doses of humor and directness. My journey to mental healthcare Retail/security jobs led me to security work at a hospital in 2018, often in the emergency room. I liked being an unexpected source of compassion in some of the worst days of people's lives, and not much else about that job. This led to new work in mental health, an atypically aged college student, and eventually to becoming a therapist. My goals for you I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions/advice. We will define what would have to change for you to know that our work is successful. We will then begin the steps towards this that are uniquely yours and tailored to your specific needs.
