Getting to know Shannon Wade
Hi there, I'm Shannon!
Hello, and welcome to my practice! I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informed, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) informed, Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian Therapy) informed, and Trauma-informed care. I gravitate toward these modalities because they focus on deconstructing negative thoughts, mindfulness, grounding techniques, improving distress tolerance, empathy, positive regard, and exploring repressed traumatic experiences. I use a variety of interventions to adapt to the unique needs in therapy. I value the opportunity to support change in the lives I work with.
My approach
I approach therapy from a nonjudgmental stance, believing in curiosity over assumptions. I utilize CBT informed, DBT informed, Person-Centered Therapy informed, and Trauma-informed therapy.
My focus
I am genuine and authentic, meeting clients where they are week to week regardless of modality. I strive to create and hold a safe, comfortable space for clients to process, grow, and heal.
My communication style
I have a calm disposition and operate with assertion and respect. I actively engage in reflective listening and validation with my clients.
My journey to therapy
My passion for helping others with mental health concerns has been with me since early adulthood. I became a registered intern in 2016 and a licensed therapist in 2021. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix, equipping me to support individuals and families on their healing journeys.
