I'm Shantel, owner of West Rose Therapy & Consultation, LLC. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and both a Master’s and Ph.D. in Social Work. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with many types of clients, including those with complex trauma histories, high-functioning individuals/high achievers, those trying therapy for the first time, as well as other mental health providers. In my current practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, or relationship/family issues, those healing from past or present trauma, and those managing challenging life transitions. I’m licensed to provide mental health services in Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan, offering all clinical services via telehealth to ensure clients can access care in a comfortable and convenient way.
As a clinician, my expertise lies in trauma, and I am trained in a variety of evidence-informed modalities to help clients achieve their goals (e.g., CBT, KRTT, & EMDR--currently in EMDRIA-approved training process). I recognize that each client's lived experience is unique. So, I adapt my approach to best meet their specific needs. My primary aim is to offer a pathway to healing and growth. To that end, I work with my clients to establish a restorative relationship, while providing a safe and supportive environment to aid and empower them to overcome life's challenges.
In our first session, clients can expect that I will spend time getting to know them, learning about their background, and clarifying what they would like to accomplish in our work together.
