Therapists in Shippensburg, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing therapy for 17 years. I enjoy helping people achieve their goals, whether that includes reducing intensity and frequency of panic attacks, preventing relapse, or improving school performance. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, attachment disorders, trauma, chronic pain, firesetting, anger, and problem sexual behaviors. I believe people are resilient and worthy of support and self-care. I invite you to chat with me about your treatment goals in a welcoming and judgement-free environment.

My mission is to provide a welcoming space for people to work on their individual goals. This can look different for everyone. For some, it's working through life changes or challenging situations. For others, they are on a journey to identify who they are and what they want in life. I believe everyone has the ability to make changes and discover things about themselves that will allow them to live the life they want. My focus is to provide a place for people to explore and learn while feeling accepted and supported.

This work is meaningful to me because I get to walk alongside people breaking free of painful patterns and moving towards feeling comfortable with life and themselves. As a counselor I have extensive experience in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain and addictions. I utilize mindfulness-based approaches to help clients cultivate mind-body awareness and create emotional well-being. Getting to underlying issues of shame, loss of control and grief changes lives. When therapy works, there's more than just insight; people feel it in their body as well as in their mind.

Hi, my name is Shana Rivera. I am a compassionate and experienced licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified dialectical behavior therapist (C-DBT) with 15+ years of experience, dedicated to supporting adults in their journey towards improved wellbeing. My passion for helping others comes from a deep understanding of the challenges individuals face when navigating their mental health. I utilize evidence-based practice to help individuals heal in the areas of PTSD, anxiety and depressive disorders, personality disorders, and strained relationship dynamics.

My focus is assisting clients in finding their own solutions. My role is to help uncover strengths and protective factors while building the necessary coping skills required to move through life's most significant challenges. Trauma, grief, sadness, confusion, worry and addiction are the most common reasons why people reach out for help. After listening and identifying issues together, the therapeutic relationship will begin to build and in that safe and trusting space support will be created. We will then strategize and set goals, ultimately developing a road map for greater happiness, a peaceful mind and a healthier life.
