Getting to know Shawn Briggs

My name is Shawn Marie Briggs, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from the University of Phoenix. Through my education and experience, I have developed expertise in cultural diversity and the ability to provide clients with guidance through life's most difficult challenges. My approach One of the most wonderful parts of my work is having the ability to meet clients where they are and help them explore coping methods that best suit their individual needs. I work with adults, teenagers, children, as well as couples and families. My approach to therapy is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. My skills include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Conflict Resolution, and Family Systems Therapy. Faith-based counseling is also available. My focus I specialize in trauma resolution, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depressive disorders-including postpartum depression-and autism spectrum disorder. I work with families to strengthen relationships and with couples to bring healing and restoration. I believe in helping my clients discover their strengths and empowering them to reach their goals. My communication style I provide a calm, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment. My hope is to build strong client-clinician rapport as clients gain insight and coping strategies. My strong faith and belief in client-driven therapy enable me to be compassionate while providing guidance and support. My journey to mental healthcare After 20 years in the medical field providing patient care in an outpatient setting, my career shifted into case management. I enjoyed this level of helping others and decided to return to school to obtain my bachelor's in Human Services.
