Getting to know Shannon Crotts

Hi there, I'm Shannon Crotts, LCSW. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues, empowering individuals to navigate life transitions and foster personal growth within their interconnected systems. My approach to therapy is primarily humanistic, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood. I incorporate narrative therapy to help clients reframe their stories and identify the strengths within their experiences. Additionally, I use solution-focused techniques to facilitate goal-setting and promote quick, effective problem-solving. This combination allows clients to explore their emotions while actively working towards meaningful change. I typically work with clients facing challenges related to trauma, depression, anxiety, and those managing life transitions. I am comfortable treating individuals who are navigating the effects of past experiences while also helping them learn to accept themselves during times of change. My goal is to provide support and strategies that empower clients to achieve healing and personal growth. I strive to create a calm, supportive, and accepting environment during my sessions, where clients feel safe to express themselves without judgment. While I prioritize validation and understanding, I also encourage clients to engage in self-reflection and growth, providing gentle challenges to help them explore new perspectives. Working with me feels collaborative, allowing individuals to navigate their journey at their own pace while being supported in their development.
