Hi there! My name is Shannon Stringer and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington, Texas and Colorado. I have been practicing since 2018. I am ready to help my clients navigate issues in a growth-related and non-judgmental manner. I have a collaborative approach to therapy and believe that as a team, we can create, work on, and meet goals. I work through teletherapy to create that collaborative, growth process for those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal concerns, and trauma.
My approach
My approach to therapy is eclectic. I will work with you to find a modality that will best support your growth and goals. Whether that be using experiential, somatic, and behavioral therapy, we will create a plan best suits you.
My focus
I frequently work with adult clients who are struggling with life transitions and may be suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. This may be dealing with anxiety, depression, relational issues, and trauma.
My communication style
I provide a safe, relaxed, environment in session. I am compassionately direct and have been known to use humor at times. I provide a non-judgemental environment where we can discuss just about anything. Honesty is important to me and in the therapy room. I provide reflection to help gain further insight. If anything doesn't resonate with you, please let me know.
My journey to mental healthcare
After working in the medical field for years, I decided to go back to school to become a therapist after realizing the impact of having a validating, supportive, compassionate person in your corner. Even throughout my own therapy journey, I realize the impact of having someone there to help guide you to your greatest potential.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative process. Together we will identify what goals you would like to achieve and create steps toward those. I will use assessment to help show progress in an objective way as well. Sometimes having that can help us reflect on the journey we have gone through and help continue motivation to continue.
My first session with you
The first session with me will be a relaxed event focused on gaining information as well as seeing if we are a good fit. Making sure you feel safe, connected, and secure is vital prior to digging deep.
