  • “Sometime all you need is someone to talk to. Shannon is amazing. She listened she encouraged and she gave me wonderful direction. Not once did I ever feel judged not once did I feel attacked. She helped me recognize the trauma the depression the PTSD and the grief that would circle violently in my head. The books she recommend gave me the insite to recognize my trigger and to listen with my ears, gave me the strength to set healthy boundaries and continue to grow in my faith. The new habits and boundaries were hard at first and I got some negative lash back from friends family and employees. The person they thought they knew had changed. Once I started changing my habits and setting my boundaries I noticed with the help of Shannon that I personally started feeling better, friends and family started growing closer, my employees started holding themselves more accountable. Once you decide to take that step and get the help, thats when the healing beings. They are not there to solve all your problems they are there to listen to guide you and give you the tools to start yourself improvement your healing journey. I will be scheduling another session with Shannon. <br /> The video therapy sessons were great and I appreciate Shannon taking the time to speak with me. My situation wouldnt of changed if I hadn't reached out and I have become the man I knew I could be. <br /> Thankyou for your kindness patience and understanding. You gave me the tools and direction I needed to start this journey.”
