Meet Shannon

Hello, My name is Shannon and I am pleased to be able to assist you during this time. I am originally from Mobile, Al. I am a two-time HBCU graduate with a bachelor’s in social work from Alabama Agriculture and Mechanical University and a masters in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University. I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker in the State of Georgia and Licensed Clinical Social in the state of Rhode Island with over 5 years of clinical experience. I have experience dealing with adolescents and adults with severe mental health diagnosis, gerontology, therapeutic foster care, Crisis mental health counseling, military and family crisis intervention, social service program planning and adults with mild to severe substance abuse issues.

 

I enjoy spending time with family, dancing, and traveling as my forms of self-care. I love being surrounded by water, if it includes swimming or water sports count me in. I’m known for being the chef of the family as I thoroughly enjoy cooking southern cuisine for my family and friends. I have a background in dance ranging from ballet, tap, jazz, modern and hip hop. I was the captain of my high school and college dance teams, and I also had the honor of being a part of two traveling dance companies. I think it’s safe to say that I LOVE DANCING!!

 

My specialties are anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and issues related to life’s transitions. My approach to therapy is to HEAL! While healing looks and feels different for each client, what remains the same is the need for compassion, support, and patience. I continue to remind my clients that healing is not linear and to always give themselves grace. YOU ARE DESERVING OF THE GRACE THAT YOU EXTEND TO OTHERS.
