Getting to know Shannon Pena
I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood. I work from a warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach, helping clients navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, stress, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. I also enjoy supporting women through motherhood, postpartum experiences, and the many changes that come with balancing life, identity, and family.
As an EMDR-trained therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens when we feel grounded, connected, and empowered. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools to move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up as you are, no pressure, no judgment.
I became a therapist because I have always been passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported through life’s hardest moments. I truly believe that healing is possible and that we don’t have to navigate life alone.
Outside of therapy, I’m a mom to twin boys, love spending time with family, being outdoors, listening to podcasts, and finding moments of peace in the middle of busy life. I understand firsthand how hard it can be to juggle responsibilities while still trying to care for yourself, and I strive to meet clients with compassion and grace wherever they are in their journey.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and growth.
