Emma Shannon

Emma Shannon is a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to guiding adults through their journeys of healing from trauma, processing shame, and building self-esteem. She approaches therapy as a collaborative and relational process, committed to co-creating a safe and supportive space for her clients. Emma believes that understanding a person's history and present needs is essential in determining the pace, flow, and style of each session, as she provides structure and insight as necessary. Her therapeutic approach often involves helping clients tap into their internal resources to stabilize daily life, deeply process trauma, and integrate new insights into their self-concept. Emma specializes in re-authoring narratives and empowering individuals to define their own purpose and meaning in life. Proficient in EMDR and DNMS therapies, she combines these methods to assist clients in releasing negative internalized messages and fostering a positive sense of self. Emma takes joy in helping clients develop secure connections with themselves and their support systems. With a deep conviction that all individuals deserve health, respect, and joy, she actively works to dismantle internalized systems of oppression, viewing this as an ongoing personal commitment. Emma identifies as a neurodivergent, cis, white, queer woman, and she welcomes prospective clients to reach out for a brief chat to discuss any questions they may have and to assess their fit with her therapeutic style.
