“Shannon is one of the best clinicians I have worked with in my 16 years as a mental health provider. She is naturally gifted in understanding and connecting with clients, offering a perfect balance of authenticity, humor and compassion.“
Dr. Katia Roth
You're in the right place if...
-
Your stomach drops when someone's tone changes, even if they claim everything is okay.
-
You're overwhelmed by a recent life change, and tired of figuring it out on your own.
-
You often steer clear of conflict because your upbringing taught you to keep the peace.
-
You fear being labeled as "too much," "too intense," "too quiet," or "not enough" making it hard to find a comfortable balance.
-
You sense a disconnect from yourself and find it difficult to express your emotions.
-
You are the peacekeeper in your family and feel like you walk on eggshells around them.
-
It feels like you're always in survival mode whether that manifests as fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
Now just imagine...
​​​
-
Feeling fully here and steady around others... and finally sensing you’re showing the real “you.”
-
Feeling at ease in your body in a way you’ve never experienced before.
-
Sleeping more soundly because your mind has quit replaying painful moments.
-
Speaking up without spiraling afterward.
-
Sending a text without overanalyzing it... then getting on with your day.
-
Noticing a shift in someone’s tone without thinking they are mad at you.
-
Trusting yourself again... without needing constant reassurance to feel okay.
-
Showing up everywhere as your authentic self.
So, what next?
In our first conversation, we’ll gently explore what you've been feeling recently, and your hopes for therapy. There's no pressure to commit, because it's important that you feel I am the right fit for you as a therapist. From there, we will talk about the best approach for you, and how often you'd like to meet.
“If Shannon Stern wasn't a former colleague, I'd want her as my therapist. She is so attuned to herself and her own clinical wisdom and thus so attuned to her clients. She is one of the most talented therapists I've known.“
