About Shannon Mott

I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person’s unique experiences and strengths, with a commitment to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care.

My work focuses on helping clients navigate complex emotional terrain, whether they’re struggling with social anxiety, workplace stress, family dynamics, or personal identity challenges. I’m dedicated to supporting individuals across diverse backgrounds, with particular expertise in addressing multicultural concerns, women’s issues, and young adult experiences.

Through collaborative, evidence-based techniques, I aim to empower clients to develop self-understanding, build resilience, and create positive life changes at their own pace. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

“Shannon is an excellent therapist. She is an active listener, constructive, and encouraging. She has helped me grow into a stronger individual.”

“During a time of many changes, Shannon gave me a safe space to process things and provided me with an outside perspective to view my past and present in a new lens that allowed me to cultivate a better understanding of my sense of self, as well as the tools to be able to maintain and manage things in future. I’m more than grateful. I recommend talking it out and considering therapy to anyone unsure, because you won’t know until you really try, which sometimes means giving things a try more than once.”

“Shannon is very skilled and active listener. She is organized and thoroughly addresses my main needs during a session. She validates my feelings while challenging me to recognize the things that I say and do that I never noticed before. Shannon also supports my Christian faith throughout the session which is very important to me during this process.”
