Getting to know Shawn Pedani

Hi, I'm Shawn Pedani, a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, OCD, panic attacks, and ADHD. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Akron. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, striving for perfection, or imagining worst-case scenarios. These struggles can feel overwhelming, but with a focused approach, real progress is possible. If you're unsure whether your challenges stem from anxiety, ADHD, or both, I offer thorough assessments to help clarify what's going on. For clients exploring medication as part of their care, I can connect you with online prescribers to streamline the process. In addition to anxiety and ADHD, I work with people facing issues like low self-confidence, people-pleasing, grief, and depression. If you're feeling trapped by self-doubt, trying to meet impossible expectations, or struggling to move forward after a loss, I can help. Together, we'll uncover the root of these patterns and build practical strategies to help you set boundaries, grow your confidence, and live in alignment with your values. Whether you're navigating school, work, or relationships, I'm here to help you break free from what's holding you back. Let's work together to create a meaningful path forward. **** please note, as of 3/1/25, I only have morning or early afternoon appointments available****

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.
