Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Shawna Reiter. I’ve always been someone who stands up for others, and being a therapist is a natural extension of that. I started by helping people work through substance use challenges and have since supported clients facing all kinds of life struggles. I’m licensed to treat both substance use and a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns—and more importantly, I bring compassion, honesty, and real connection to the work we do together.

My approach to therapy

In our work together, I take a person-centered and trauma-informed approach, which means you set the pace and we focus on what feels most meaningful to you. I’m EMDR Certified and use this method alongside a foundation of trust and empathy, helping you safely process trauma and move toward healing—without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Everything we do is grounded in collaboration, respect, and your unique needs.

What you can expect from me

I bring a non-judgmental, compassionate presence to every session and hold deep respect for each person’s story. I genuinely believe in the strength and resilience within you—even when it feels hard to see for yourself—and I make it a point to reflect that back as we work together.
