I am blessed to have found a Psychotherapist in Shannon Brooks-Rodger’s who really understands my situation. There was an immediate connection from our 1st visit and I felt that she would be able to help me on my journey. She listens and puts things into perspective. She has soothed me in times of turmoil, helped me find courage when I felt defeated, and most importantly she has never let me down in the times I have needed her the most. She goes above and beyond and has helped me find a way even when things seem hopeless. It's nice to feel safe and be able to talk openly in a non-judgmental environment. Shannon is extremely easy to talk to. I look forward to my sessions because I feel like it is time that I reserve for myself to discuss things that are weighing on my mind. I highly recommend Shannon.

Shannon was very engaged and happy to listen and provide constructive feedback. The appointments are only about an hour but she makes great use of the time. I felt heard and encouraged to be open about myself and open to her feedback and recommendations. Shannon has a nice voice and a kind smile that has a way of making you feel comfortable. She also has a nice comfy office.

My first couple of sessions with Shannon have been amazing. I have already been feeling a sense of relief after speaking with her and not only is she helping me in the sessions but she is making sure that I am helping myself outside of the sessions as well. I am looking forward to many more sessions with her as she has been very welcoming and helpful in such a short period of time!

I found Shannon’s approach very welcoming and was at ease with her immediately. I felt comfortable, heard, and respected. After my first visit I was finally hopeful that I could start to make progress and set goals for myself that feel attainable.

Working with Shannon was the best experience I have had working with a therapist. She was very easy to talk to and share my story with. From our conversations, I have a better understanding of what my triggers are, I have good coping skills and feel much more confident in who I am/ writing my own story. If you have therapist needs, Shannon will make you feel seen and heard. I highly recommend her and this practice in general.

When I first started looking for a therapist, I found Shannon’s profile and immediately knew that I would like her. She gave me a phone call before booking my first session and I appreciated her transparency about how if she was not a good fit for me, she would help me find another who would be. When I went to my first session, I was nervous and was unsure on what to talk about, but Shannon made me feel very comfortable. I have been going for a couple months now, and I am able to share everything with Shannon. She gave me great strategies for anxiety that I use to this day, and she truly has helped me grow as a person. I look forward to our sessions every week because I know that I will walk out feeling lighter and motivated to work on myself with her guidance. I highly recommend Shannon as a therapist!

Shannon is truly a gift from God! She has spoken so much truth and life over my current struggles. I am growing into a stronger woman spiritually, physically, and, of course, mentally through working with her. I could not ask for a kinder therapist. I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Shannon and could not recommend her more.
More than 1 year agoAS
She is so patient, understanding, kind and most of all fun to talk to even about some really sensitive topics. She will give you the tools and get you back on the right path when you need it! One of the best!
