Accepting new clients in NC + MA. EMDR intensives offered in-person in NC. More info found at www.shannondraper.co - Therapy looks and feels differently now. The traditional head nodding, passive engagement, and ‘how does that make you feel?’ is a thing of the past. I enjoy actively supporting and challenging folks in their process of reflection, introspection, and growth. My approach is compassionate and direct. I work best with people who are asking questions, shifting relationships with themselves or others, and are committed to showing up and/or learning more about their authentic, vulnerable, and values-focused self.

Often we struggle to find the language to identify our values, or put and keep boundaries in place. It can feel black and white in a world of gray. Language is so meaningful; I support folks in creating responses that feel aligned for them. My style is direct & compassionate. I utilize a strength-based, empowering approach while integrating humor & warmth.

If you have decided that we may work well together, have additional questions, or would like to reach out for a consultation I look forward to connecting soon. Only you can determine what feels best as your next step. My hope is to support you through your process while working together to identify a direction that aligns with your therapeutic goals.

As a trauma therapist I use EMDR with clients to work towards symptom reduction, and understanding the roots of our beliefs. Our underlying and ingrained schemas often repeat in our relationships throughout our lives. EMDR combines the brain and body to help release stored traumas and distressing experiences. Please visit my website for more information on EMDR.
