Therapists in Fairlawn, OH

Hello I'm Shannon Smith, Licensed Independent Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have endured a traumatic/stressful experience/s. It is not uncommon for their lives to unravel in the aftermath of such turmoil. I help my clients discover a positive self-perception and strengthen their relationships so they can feel a sense of peace, wholeness & safety. I have dual roles working as a civilian Therapist & Social Work Officer in the Army. My personal/professional endeavors have provided me with an array of useful skills, that I use to relate with others.

Tele-Counseling anywhere in Ohio that is easy and fits your schedule. Set an appointment time that works for you. Morning, Afternoon and Evening sessions 7 days a week! Adults, older teens, and couples are welcome. I have nearly 15 years of experience as a Counselor and strive to provide a Positive and even Fun session that I hope you will enjoy! Motivational Therapy and Positive Psychology really work and they can be applied to help you. Support, insight, awareness, and growth, are associated with therapy for a reason. We ALL need help with problems sometime and can become overwhelmed. Therapy can change this soon and help you now.

Hi There! Because you are here on this page, I will assume that you or your loved ones are having a particularly difficult time with an impossibly challenging set of problems. From that perspective, I am truly sorry that you and yours are struggling. With that said, I am a Board Certified Coach and Pastoral/Spiritual Counselor and I am glad that I might be able to help you find your way back to a sense of ordinary, normal, or maybe even better than it's ever been. I can confess to you that I have personally felt as bad as you may feel now. That doesn't mean that I know how you feel - I do not think anyone could know that.

Sick of suffering? Sick of feeling like you've tried everything & no one seems to understand, no one seems to be able to help? Feeling like there is no purpose to keep moving forward in life? Feeling low, anxious & alone! You don't have to be alone. I can help guide you down a path of healing, a path of awakening to the true you! Together, we can find that light within & bring it back to life. Let me teach you how to be free from suffering. Let me teach you how to access your highest potential. I specialize in trauma and addictions (for those actively in recovery.)

Being listened to can be life's greatest compliment. Once heard, we can be understood. Once understood, we can acquire direction. Combined with the work of counseling sessions, personal and life goals are achieved. With the integration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors we become empowered.

Mindfully Northeast Ohio, formerly known as Nancy Lowrie and Associates, is dedicated to helping our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We focus on matching clients with providers who specialize in the challenges they are facing. By providing the best fit from the start, we help our clients meet their goals with greater success and our providers find deeper fulfillment in their work.

Are you looking for a counselor with which you can feel comfortable and be yourself without being judged or evaluated? Are you looking for an honest interactive conversational experience that will be proactive, motivational and move you forward in your life ? I give you as my client compassion, honesty, respect, and unconditional positive regard. After twenty four years as a therapist I have enjoyed witnessing my clients transform their lives, freeing themselves from self destructive patterns of thinking and behaviors and recreating a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. I use an eclectic approach which is individualized and highly effective.

I often hear that I make people feel comfortable because I am relatable and easy to talk to; I pride myself on being pretty direct and straight-forward, as well as having a good sense of humor and a positive attitude. I believe therapy can – and should – be an enjoyable experience (even when it is dealing with difficult topics.) I can help you untangle the events of your past (and present) to address unhealed wounds and to make sense of the bigger picture while supporting you in making small, consistent changes in your thoughts and actions.
