Connect with Shannon Pedersen

I work with individuals and couples facing a variety of challenges and experiences. I am passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces for clients in all walks of life to encourage growth and positive change. With a focus on collaboration, I firmly believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the best ways for a client to achieve a positive outcome from therapy. Overall, I have a warm, affirmative, and direct approach to therapy. I use kindness, honesty, and understanding to build rapport with my clients.
I am trauma-informed and use a variety of tools focusing on thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. While I work with a variety of concerns, my specialties include people seeking support for navigating anxiety, boundaries, consensual non-monogamy, life transitions, and sex-related concerns. I am also sex-positive, BDSM & kink-allied, and an LGBTQIA+ ally.
I know taking the first step in seeking help can often be the most daunting. I encourage you to reach out to me to see if working together would be a good fit.
