Shanley McLaughlin

I strive to create a warm, nurturing, nonjudgmental space that is inclusive and collaborative, allowing us to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches as well as humor and compassion, my goal is to partner with my clients to empower to help them to confidently navigate life’s challenges. Together we will explore stressors, limiting beliefs, and past trauma that may be impeding you from reaching your full potential, while also exploring your unique strengths and abilities. My 19 years of experience working in the school system, as a school counselor, is very helpful when I'm working with teens.

I believe in the power of the present moment and the mind-body connection to bring clarity and harmony to the mind, and I integrate this philosophy into our sessions to help you build a sense of safety, openness, and resilience. Together, we'll work on cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-compassion.

My holistic approach includes:

• Mindfulness
• Motivational Interviewing
• Attachment Theory
• CBT
• Sand Tray Therapy
• Somatic Therapy
• EMDR

Together, we'll work on cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-compassion, empowering you to overcome obstacles and embrace life's possibilities.
