Shane Hartman

Shane Hartman understands that trying to define oneself can feel as perplexing as trying to bite one's own teeth, a thought inspired by Alan Watts. He recognizes the challenges of working on oneself alone, which often leads to prolonged struggles. Therapy, according to Shane, is all about cultivating an unbiased, collaborative relationship with someone who genuinely cares—something he embodies wholeheartedly. He is committed to helping clients explore the complexities of their identities, particularly in relation to addiction, codependence, anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism. Shane believes these behaviors or parts of individuals serve important purposes, and by understanding them, clients can reclaim their lives and connect more deeply with their true selves. His own experiences with addiction and trauma have shaped his dedication to guiding others towards healing, influenced by a profound spiritual shift. Shane welcomes all individuals, especially those who feel out of place, because he believes that the therapeutic relationship is paramount. He often employs effective methods like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to foster growth. Therapy with Shane is envisioned as a more enjoyable alternative to the dentist's office, inviting clients to embark on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance in a warm and supportive environment.
