Hi there! My name is Shalynn (she/her), and I provide psychotherapy to children (ages 10+), teens, and adults. I have over 8 years of experience supporting a range of needs, including anxiety, depression, life transitions and stressors, emotional regulation, trauma, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with caregivers and supporting prenatal and postpartum well-being. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and am passionate about providing a safe place for everyone. It is an honor to be able to partner with and walk alongside folks on their journey.
I believe in being strengths-based and in the power of empathy. I use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that pulls from a variety of modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.
I also incorporate somatic work by utilizing grounding techniques, breath work, and body based regulation skills to support vagus nerve/nervous system regulation. I will be completing training in December 2026 focused on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) skills and techniques, which I look forward to incorporating into my work with clients.
Take the first step to help. Call or Shalynn Kilian now - (608) 680-3544
