Getting to know Shannon Nelson

My focus is to support individuals navigating childhood trauma, generalized anxiety disorder, postpartum depression, trauma, and women’s issues. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of life stages, with a strong emphasis on family dynamics and supporting individuals through complex emotional and developmental challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, inclusive space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing. I take a holistic, person-centered approach that integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with play-based and brain-body approaches. With advanced training in Play Therapy, Theraplay, and Brainspotting, I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, incorporating mind-body connection and parts-based work when appropriate. My goal is to foster resilience, strengthen relationships, and help clients build meaningful, lasting change.
