Getting to know Shannon Smith
*Please review limited availability below.*
I know how hard it can be to find a therapist with whom you truly connect. I hope this profile gives you a preview of how we can work together so you can live a more authentic and meaningful life. My niche is working with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, and I am an ally to the BIPOC community. I enjoy working with young adults and adults. With over 22 years of experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, and substance use, I am passionate about supporting those going through difficult life transitions and interested in fostering their confidence and resiliency.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. My style is to build connections based on mutual trust. I am empathetic, warm, humorous, and honest. Sessions with me are meant to be a collaborative and safe space for you to explore who you are and learn new skills. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey to better understand yourself and how you relate to the world around you.
Currently offering limited availability as follows:

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
