Meet your Therapist
Hi there! I’m Shannon (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am the owner of Shannon Strong Counseling and love working with my clients to help them uncover the deep-rooted patterns that are keeping them stuck.
My approach is warm, accepting, collaborative, and judgment free. I use a strong focus in attachment-based approach to create a secure attachment between client and therapist, as well as a psychodynamic lens to explore past experiences that help shape the present feelings and behaviors.
I am a trauma-informed counselor who has worked with emergency shelter youth in CPS, the psychiatric hospital population, PTSD, C-PTSD, Relational abuse, and intergenerational trauma, as well as mood disorders, and psychotic disorders. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, and depression and I would love to meet you and help offer relief with ways to manage life’s challenges.
You belong, you will be accepted and understood here.
How I can Help
Therapy here isn’t about fixing you or forcing yourself into better habits. It’s about understanding the patterns underneath everything you’ve been experiencing, the emotional responses, the relationship dynamics, and the ways you’ve had to adapt just to get by. When those patterns start to make sense, things begin to shift in a way that feels natural and sustainable. A lot of women with ADHD aren’t struggling because they can’t do things, they’re trying to manage brains and bodies that never got the support they needed. You might feel constant anxiety, get overwhelmed emotionally more often than others, doubt your worth even though you’re clearly capable, or find your relationships shaped by old attachment wounds or past relational hurts.
At Shannon Strong Counseling, PLLC, I help women with ADHD, anxiety, and relational trauma reconnect with themselves and build lives that feel more grounded, confident, and aligned. My practice is built on the belief that every individual has the innate ability to navigate life’s challenges and become stronger from the inner work. When we work together, we will uncover the deeper patterns of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, feeling unorganized, people-pleasing, feeling unseen in relationships, and break the pattern of doubting yourself or putting yourself last. You'll learn to manage racing thoughts, find an organization style that works for you, set boundaries, build self-trust, confidence, and understand yourself in ways that offers security you have never felt before. You will step into a life aligned with your values and desires.
This work is collaborative and paced to you. We use practical strategies alongside exploration, skill building for attention, emotion regulation, and routines that actually fit your life, paired with deeper processing of wound and attachment patterns that keep old cycles alive. That means we honor what’s working already, adapt tools to your strengths, and name the invisible rules you’ve been living by so they no longer run the show. Progress looks different for everyone: sometimes it’s a steady reduction in overwhelm; sometimes it’s reclaiming an important boundary; sometimes it’s a whole shift in how you see yourself.
You don’t have to “perform” confidence to deserve care here. Therapy is a place to practice being seen, understood, and supported while you try new ways of relating to yourself and others. Over time those practices become the foundation of a more reliable inner life, fewer panic spirals, clearer priorities, relationships that reflect your needs, and a sense of competence that isn’t fragile.
If you’re ready to explore, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for women ages 18 and up, with telehealth sessions tailored to your rhythm and needs. As a licensed professional counselor, I work with compassion, clarity, and practical tools designed for real life. Together, we’ll help you move from surviving to living with intention and ease one thoughtful step at a time.
