Shawn McClellan

I bring over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life challenges. I believe therapy should be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, recognize your strengths, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. I tailor our work to your individual needs and goals and will work collaboratively with you to create meaningful and lasting change.

My approach to therapy is personalized, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy based on each client's needs and goals. Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns that may be affecting your well-being while developing practical strategies to help you manage challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward positive change.

During our first session, you can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental conversation where we begin getting to know one another. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you are currently experiencing, and what you would like to accomplish. I will also learn more about your experiences, strengths, relationships, and current coping strategies so we can begin identifying an approach that fits your needs. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about the next steps in our work together.
