Shawna Hinkson

My clinical experience includes individual counseling with clients of all ages. I utilize a variety of evidence based models, such as solution focused therapy, interpersonal process approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and task-centered practice. I have expertise in the areas of relational issues, stress, crisis intervention, depression, and anxiety. One of my specialties is working with active military service members and veterans.

My practice style hinges on a trusting relationship between myself and my clients. I believe that clients are the experts of their own experience. I focus on a client's inherent strength to assist with restoring peace and balance to their lives. I have a down to earth, casual and transparent approach that I believe makes me relatable and welcoming. I work well with clients that are new to therapy or are trying to overcome the negative stigma around seeking support.

I believe that therapy plays a vital role in one’s overall wellness. I work with clients to help them make important changes or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. My desire is to support my clients, however, I also challenge and encourage them in order to foster the growth needed to reach their goals. After our first session, you can expect to have a better idea of what changes you want to see and the path to obtaining them. I look forward to working with you.
