Getting to know Shauna Bort

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma and are subsequently feeling "stuck" due to those experiences. I pride myself on being able to create authentic and meaningful relationships with clients, where we work together to not only identify "problem areas", but also action steps to help you make the long-lasting, sustainable, and meaningful changes you are after. While I know that seeking out therapy can feel overwhelming and scary, it doesn't have to be! My approach I am trained in multiple modalities of therapy, including DBT, EMDR, ACT, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and I take an eclectic approach with clients, pulling techniques and skills from multiple modalities to ensure that you feel supported and able to make changes. Furthermore, I am a big believer in there needing to be time to build a relationship, so all sessions (especially early on) will be focused on building up our relationship, ensuring your comfort and confidence in the process. The goals you choose to work on will be the guiding light in our work together. My focus Maybe you find that you often feel stressed, emotionally drained, or overwhelmed. Maybe you catch yourself asking, “what’s wrong with me?”, or wondering why you aren’t able to move forward when it comes “so easily” to others. I specialize in working with adults who express similar sentiments- whether it is caused by trauma, mental health struggles, or general life stress. My focus is on creating a space where you not only feel seen and validated, but empowered to tackle these issues and create changes in your life. My communication style I would describe my communication style as straightforward, yet supportive- I believe in the power of having honest dialogue, balanced with both empathy and a sense of humor when it is appropriate. I take my time to fully understand what makes you, you, and allow you the space to process things at your own pace.
