Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Shannon French, and I'm a fully licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience working with children, adults, and families. My personal experiences have enriched my journey and enhanced my ability to connect with and support my clients effectively. In my practice, I focus on areas such as anxiety, life transitions, parenting, depression, and trauma. However, my experience spans a wide range of issues, and I'm here to help with whatever you may be facing. I am committed to fostering a safe and collaborative environment where trust is the cornerstone of our work together. My goal is to support you with empathy and understanding as we navigate your journey towards growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

In your sessions with me, you can expect a welcoming and collaborative experience where we establish rapport, explore your concerns, set goals, and discuss practical aspects of our work together. I’ll emphasize the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you. Your comfort and trust are paramount, and I’ll be attentive to ensuring that you feel heard and supported. My aim is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing and working towards your personal goals.

I practice humanistic therapy, which is all about personal growth and self-discovery. I help my clients see their potential, set goals that mean something to them, and go for their true selves. When they do that, they feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

My greatest strength as a provider is my humanistic and strength based approach within our therapeutic alliance. At our core, I believe that all people possess an innate ability to overcome their own challenges. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in humanistic principles, which center you as the expert in your own life.

What you can expect from me

You are at the heart of the therapeutic process, and my goal is to empower you to tap into your own wisdom and capabilities, helping you navigate your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
