Shanna O'Bannon

I'm Shanna and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. I strive to create a warm, comfortable space where you can be yourself, feel truly heard, and know that your story matters. I work with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s many challenges. My goal is to walk alongside you, help you recognize your strengths, and empower you with the tools and confidence to move toward the life you want.

I want my clients to know that they have a safe place where they can come as they are and feel truly heard. As a TBRI-trained practitioner, I believe that connection, trust, and feeling understood are at the heart of meaningful change. I believe therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, so I take time to understand your experiences, strengths, needs, and goals and tailor our work together accordingly. Most of all, I want clients to feel like they don’t have to walk through difficult seasons alone.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and for you to share what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what’s important to you, and what you hope to get out of our time together. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—I’ll meet you where you are and we’ll work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling comfortable, heard, and hopeful about the work ahead.
