Shawn Conn

For over a decade I’ve worked to help others find their strength, their peace, their values, and themselves. Community mental health clinical work taught me that, just as people are individuals, so are the problems and struggles they face. No presentation is the same and every person deserves care based on them as an individual.

I’ve worked with clients as young as 4 and over 65 years old; and helped people through homelessness, substance use, trauma responses, and a list of other needs.

I use evidence based practices: EMDR, CBT, TFCBT, ACT, and a host of others. Therapy can be hard work and it can be trying, especially when confronting parts of ourselves we had hope would stay hidden or buried.

We work together. I won’t hand you cliches and slogans or pretend to be a profound thinker.

My job is honest analysis, personalized treatment, and guidance when it feels like the fog is too heavy.

Our first session establishes a foundation for working together. I try to avoid the life story routine. We’ll identify what you see as causing you trouble, what you may have tried to do about it in the past, and the effectiveness of those strategies.

We’ll usually complete a biopsychosocial, which asks specific historic information and then begin working on treatment approaches.
