Getting to know Shannon Secrist
Hello, I'm Shannon Secrist! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I have a passion for working with people in all stages of life. My approach to therapy is client-centered, open-minded, and non-judgmental, grounded in compassion and empathy. I believe everyone deserves a life worth living!
My approach
I use a very eclectic approach to therapy through a trauma-informed lens. I recognize that people want to feel better quickly, so I draw from evidence-based practices such as CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Relaxation, and Reality Therapy.
My focus
I’m comfortable working with clients across the lifespan—children, teens, young adults, adults, and seniors. Throughout my career, I’ve provided individual, group, family, and couples therapy, treating depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anger management, substance use disorders, domestic violence, and life transitions.
My communication style
I’ve been described as warm, caring, friendly, non-assuming, accepting, and patient. I approach therapy with humility and see it as a privilege when an individual, couple, or family courageously shares their story with me. In return, I strive to provide a safe environment to explore, grow, and learn about yourself so you can become the best version of you. Therapy is hard work—I’m here to walk with you.
My journey to mental healthcare
I always knew I wanted to help people from a very early age. What that looked like changed many times before I decided on this career. I do this work because it’s vital to hold space for people who don’t have another human they can trust to share their innermost thoughts and feelings without judgment.
