About
Hello, I'm Shannon Secrist! I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I have a passion for working with people in all stages of life. My approach to therapy is client centered, open minded, non-judgmental with compassion and empathy. I believe everyone deserves a life worth living! I have a very eclectic approach to therapy through a trauma informed lens. I recognize people want to feel better quickly and I pull from evidenced based practices of CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Relaxation, and Reality Therapy. I always knew I wanted to help people from a very early age. What that looked like changed a dozen times before I decided on a career. I do this work because it's vital to hold space for people who don't have another human, they can trust to share their innermost thoughts and feelings without being judged. I'm driven with the knowledge, that mental illness doesn't decipher between black and white, rich or poor, sick or healthy, it just happens, and when it does people need a safe space to heal. My hope, my goal is to be that space for others. It's a beautiful gift to be a part of another human's healing process!
