About Shannon

My Story

I’m passionate about helping others navigate life’s challenges and live their best lives. Through guidance, support, and practical tools, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered.

My journey into this field was deeply personal, inspired by the individuals who supported me through pivotal moments in my life. After earning my Master’s in Counseling from Northwestern University and completing extensive clinical training, I established my practice as an independent licensed practitioner. I am also licensed to practice in Ohio.

I understand that seeking help can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. You matter, let’s talk.

My Mission

At Clear Center Counseling, I am dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment. With a deep commitment to understanding and empathy, I strive to help you gain insight into your challenges and empower you to create meaningful, positive changes in your life. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Why Work With Me?

A Compassionate and Non-Judgmental Approach

I understand how difficult it can be to seek help, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly heard and supported. My goal is to provide an unbiased and empathetic ear, helping you navigate your challenges without fear of judgment.

Every person’s journey is unique, which is why I utilize a variety of proven therapeutic approaches—including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and exposure therapy—to best suit your needs. We’ll work together to find the right strategies to help you heal and grow.

Personal Experience, Genuine Passion

I entered this field as a way to “pay it forward” because of the support I received in my own life. This personal connection fuels my passion for helping others, ensuring that I approach therapy with empathy, understanding, and a true desire to make a difference.

A Focus on Empowerment and Growth

My goal is not just to help you cope, but to equip you with the tools and confidence to lead a fulfilling, happy, and healthy life. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, PTSD, or simply need guidance, I’m here to help you move forward with strength and resilience.
