Getting to know Shawn Thomas

Hello, my name is Shawn, and I have been a licensed therapist since 2006. I work primarily with individuals aged 12 and older. Many of the patients I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress. My practice focus has always been to help each person reach their goals in counseling so they can get what they want from their life. I keep our attention on where we really have control in life and help you develop real-world solutions to move forward. My approach I utilize a cognitive behavioral therapy approach. I work to help my clients gain insight so they can make informed, proactive changes. I am very solution-focused, even when providing something like grief counseling. I believe that when we empower individuals to make positive change, forward progress just happens. My focus I typically work with preteens through retirement age. I do not work much with patients under the age of 12. Anxiety, depression, stress, sexual dysfunction due to abuse, and relapse prevention are common concerns I address. Many of the clients referred to me need guidance and empowerment. My communication style I have a relaxed but engaging communication style. I use humor when appropriate, and people are generally very comfortable with me very quickly. Most of my patients are legitimately surprised that their first few sessions seem to fly by. Many keep a notebook after a few sessions about things they want to remember to discuss. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been in a position where I was helping someone. Even as a child, I was always looking to help and to fix things. In college, I gravitated toward the humanities and currently work full time as a middle school adjustment counselor. I love the impact I can have with so many students. I enjoy being a positive individual in their lives and someone they trust.
