Meet Shannon Black, LPC-MHSP-S
Clinical Mental Health Therapist
Hi! I am a curious, warm, and engaging therapist, educator, trainer, and consultant. I am driven by a deep desire to understand and implement the latest research on how and why people become who they are, and what can be done on a therapeutic basis to help them live the fullest life possible.
​
To that end, I meet people where they are, and create a safe container in which they can process, receive unconditional positive regard, and appreciate the adaptive nature of their mind to keep them safe until healing could occur. See the Services/FAQ's page for information on who I can help, and how I can help.
​
We are always only one decision away from a different life. How exciting that is!
Why Do Interpersonal Psychotherapy?
It can help with
Mood
Fighting feelings hurts more than feeling feelings. Let me help you do this safely.
Relationships
Our early lives have a definite impact on our current ones particularly in terms of attachment. Let's look at that.
Behavioral Issues
Explore why we do the things we do, and what our behaviors can tell us about how to heal.
Physical Health
Our nervous systems hold our past experiences. Healing happens from the bottom up! Somatic treatments work to help our nervous system's reset to a place of safety and connection.
Trauma
We have come so far in understanding what trauma is: anything that happens to us that leaves us with an overwhelming feeling, and being alone to manage that feeling. This leaves an unconscious template in our nervous systems that dictates how we cope currently. Finding when the nervous system coupled "this way of coping" with "these types of experiences" and offering disconfirming experiences and resources literally changes those template in the brain.
Attachment
As children, we all needed to:
Be Seen
Be Safe
Be Secure
Be Attuned To
Be Delighted In
​
But not all of us had caregivers whose nervous systems were able to do this. Therapy can be a safe place to experience having these needs met.
