Shawna Kelley-Swanson, LCPC, NCC, PEL-SC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I'm Shawna, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and I've been working with teens, adults, couples and families since 2013. Life has a way of throwing complex challenges our way. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, without judgment, while we explore your concerns, recognize your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
Teens:
· I bring extensive experience in both schools and clinical settings to work as a team.
· I help young people better understand and manage their emotions, develop coping and executive functioning skills, build confidence, and navigate challenges at school, at home, and in relationships.
Families:
· I work closely with parents and families to create strategies that support greater connection, communication, and balance at home.
Adults:
· I draw from my training in counseling and Industrial/Organizational Psychology to help adults navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, career and life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and the stress of trying to balance the many demands of life.
Couples:
· I work with couples who are looking to improve communication, strengthen their connection, work through conflict, or navigate challenging transitions together.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.
