Getting to know Shannon Shackford
I am not your traditional counselor—I come to this as a Neurodivergent with a learning disability(dysgraphia.) I am also before I am anything else a wife Mom and grand mother. So, I bring both clinicial and lived Experience to the therapeutic space. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. No single approach works for everyone, every time. Instead, I encourage clients to explore what works for them personally. I emphasize that change is a shared process—50% of it is your buy-in, your belief in what you're doing. Just because a technique is proven doesn’t mean it will resonate with every person. I’m not the kind of provider who believes people should be in therapy forever. I believe in building autonomy. Our thoughts influence our feelings, which then shape our behavior—but ultimately, we are each responsible for the choices we make. At any moment, we're only one decision away from a completely different life. The most powerful thing we possess is the ability to choose our attitude in any situation. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond. In every challenge, we have three choices: let it destroy us, define us, or inspire us to thrive in spite of it.
I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Ashford University in 2009, followed by an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University in 2015. In 2019, I completed postgraduate work in Social and Community Services, and I’m currently enrolled in a Psychometry program

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
