Shannon Rapalo Medina

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with experience in individual and group therapy since 2017. My approach is trauma-informed, empowering, and client-centered, tailored to meet the unique needs of adults, children, and families. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which help clients develop healthier thought patterns, reframe their personal stories, and enhance motivation for change.

With experience supporting individuals facing severe and persistent mental health challenges, as well as those with sexually maladaptive behaviors, I create a safe and supportive space for healing and personal growth. Since opening my private practice in 2023, I have been committed to helping clients build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and improve their overall well-being.

If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist dedicated to fostering healing and transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I take a trauma-informed, client-centered, and empowering approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their emotions, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my interventions to meet their specific needs and goals.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which provide practical tools to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reframe personal narratives, and enhance motivation for positive change. My work is grounded in collaboration, helping clients identify their strengths, develop coping strategies, and regain a sense of control over their lives.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals facing severe and persistent mental health challenges, as well as those struggling with sexually maladaptive behaviors. Whether working with adults, children, or families, I strive to foster self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships.

My goal is to empower clients by equipping them with the skills and insights needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.

In our sessions, clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where they feel heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a space that fosters self-exploration, growth, and healing, allowing clients to develop the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
