“Dr. Shannon has helped me assess my feelings and actions from a holistic space, considering not just the situation in front of me, but the thought patterns they may be representing. I have learned that change is difficult, yet continuing to embody unhealthy versions of myself is painful. Dr. Shannon challenges me in ways that have helped my adult self show up more for myself. Cannot recommend enough!”
