Unlike other forms of therapy, directive therapy allows the client to see the therapist at work, as the therapist updates the client from session to session on how their analysis is progressing, how their problem is structured, and how to effect meaningful change

You can expect from Shannyn that your “entire self” is welcomed into a space and she will work somatically with what you bring to unpack, patterns to ease out of and the wounded places to be respected, handled with care, and skillful clinical attention and presence provided.

Addressing the impact of oppression a person experiences throughout life is also central to healing. It is in the mind AND body that dis.ease occurs and takes hold.

Current openings available. Chronic physical and emotional pain changes everything. It is more than just being uncomfortable. You may be afraid of making commitments, leaving the house, engaging with other people. Even doing things that you love may feel too much of a threat. It seems others don't understand how you feel, or even if they do, you can still feel angry, hurt, or guilty. And those times when you feel a bit better and are more active, chances are you end up either in physical pain for days, or you start second guessing yourself, feeling unreasonable regret, sadness, or just overwhelmed. It doesn't have to be this way.

I have always been amazed by nature’s resilience to revive itself when adversity creates setbacks and its capability to thrive even in harsh conditions. Nature possesses the critical balance of the many elements necessary for sustainability. As humans, we also have the capacity to overcome setbacks. I often work with individuals who suffer from various problems, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, or even adjustment to living with a chronic illness. They are often looking for a way to find balance and move forward in their lives.
