Shawna Pisciotti

Shawna believes in the power of the mind-body connection and the innate wisdom each person carries within. In therapy, she creates a collaborative, non-pathologizing space where clients are invited to explore their experiences with curiosity and compassion. Her work honors the complexity of each person’s emotional life while helping them build the capacity to stay present with it. She brings a respectful, attuned presence to the therapy room, integrating moments of playfulness and creativity when it feels right.

Her approach is grounded in trauma-informed care and integrates practices from Internal Family Systems (IFS), polyvagal theory, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and EMDR. These modalities help clients attune to their nervous systems and access deeper pathways to healing. Having engaged in her own therapy since her 20s, working with clinicians trained in these same approaches, she understands firsthand the transformative impact of being met with patience, presence, and perspective.

What excites Shawna most is helping clients navigate relationship dynamics—whether that’s the relationship they have with themselves or with those they love. She works with individuals facing personal growth challenges, past trauma, parenting stress, or relational struggles. Her goal is to support clients in connecting more deeply to their own inner clarity and adaptability. She sees each person as the expert on their own life and walks alongside them with curiosity and care.
