Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Midway, UT

Calling the truth-seekers, the plant medicine-sitters, "the lovers, the dreamers, and me", this is an invitation to work with someone who *gets it* and is committed to being part of the modern paradigm shift. I don't want to diagnose you, but instead help you find the gift in all the ways you are uniquely YOU. Working for 15+ years in addiction & recovery makes me somewhat of an expert in those realms, but I am much more interested in revealing how YOU are the expert of your experience. Together we will find the path back to your own loving heart thru Inner Child Work and Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration. REMEMBER with me

My goal is to help you find the courage to be the agent of change in your life, and I will support you throughout the healing process. You might be seeking counseling because of anxiety, depression, grief, partnership difficulties, or trauma (recent or past). Personal addiction or the addiction of a loved one is another reason you might seek help. Let me support your sojourn toward wellness.

My approach to psychotherapy is centered around you, the client. Together we address emotional distress caused by relationship conflict, grief, addiction, sudden/chronic illness, life adjustments and trauma. Each person is unique, therefore we explore your needs and goals to promote growth, empowerment and lasting change. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD , mood dysregulation, personality disorders, substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. I have worked extensively both with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence as well as First Responders.

In order to provide unique and individualized care, I offer a multitude of services such as individual therapy, family therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy. I am licensed to treat clients in both Florida and Utah and I believe in alternative ways of conducting therapy based on the needs of my clients. I have spent the vast majority of my career supporting and counseling clients facing issues ranging from eating disorders and addictions, couples/family conflict, and mood disorders.

Our goal at Synergism Counseling is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Synergy is defined as the interaction of two or more parts to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of the separate parts. Together you can, with the help of an experienced therapist, make significant positive changes in your life, creating synergy. The relationship and trust we will build leads to empowerment, healing and strengthening individuals and family. Everyone can benefit from counseling.

Are you sick of feeling overwhelmed? Does it feel like you keep trying to move forward and there's something holding you back? Are you tired of taking care of everyone else around you and never having time to take care of yourself? Have you tried to feel better, lose weight or workout and still struggle with being comfortable with who you are? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are in the right spot. We know that we can help you develop the necessary tools to equip you to face and overcome your challenges.

My focus is on helping those in need to find peace, motivation, a new way of thinking, direction, and joy. I work with most client issues but my specialties include: couples, anxiety, addiction, domestic violence, anger, marriage and relationship conflicts, teenager struggles, family dynamics, depression, and weight management.

My mission is simple. Supporting those seeking support and empowering them through language and skills to take control over their lives and live more authentically. While we all come from different walks of life and hold unique personal experiences, we ALL experience challenge in one way or another. Although working through our challenges can be difficult, finding someone who understands us in our process of creating change can be equally as difficult. With nearly 20 years of experience in community mental health, I am no stranger to challenge or pain and find it an honor to work with those seeking change and support.

I enjoy working with women in overcoming obstacles, growing in character, and reaching their fullest potential. Using strengths based, solution focused questioning and empathetic listening, I help clients find healing and hope. I feel blessed to be able to accompany clients in learning how to be the best version of themselves. You can learn new coping skills, gain new insights into your life, and find true joy.

Satisfaction and happiness with yourself and the relationships that surround you is often what a client finds troubling them underneath the stress of life. Sometimes you feel alone in this stress, sometimes you feel surrounded by others though they don't really know you, and other times you have a handle on most things but just can't sustain feeling satisfied and happy with what you have. Finding yourself looking through therapist profiles, this profile, means you are on the path of change. Next step, set an appointment with the therapist that feels right and has skills and experience to actively guide you on a path of change.

At the center of my practice is the belief that we all must learn how to experience the discomfort of feeling and processing difficult emotions. It feels uncomfortable to set boundaries, hold ourselves accountable, hold others accountable, work through our personal struggles with self-love, identify our own maladaptive patterns, and live authentically. In discovering and cultivating the authentic version of ourselves, we all must learn to push through the discomfort of vulnerability. I love working as hard as my clients to support them through that discomfort so they can grow through that difficult process!

Relationships can be complicated, challenging, fulfilling, and rewarding all at once. My role is to help you navigate these relationships in a way that makes sense for you. I am a non-pathologizing therapist, meaning I believe people are not defined by the problem they are struggling with. For me it is an honor to be invited into someone’s life story and to be trusted to help create their desired change. I understand that people have varied experiences and come in with different goals/expectations. It is my job to meet someone where they are, and to work collaboratively at their pace.

Shannon with Therapy Solutions is here to help navigate current stressors and concerns. Life can feel overwhelming, relationships can be difficult to navigate, expectations and demands can weigh on you, and past concerns or issues may seem insurmountable. This all can lead to high stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, a faith crisis, relationship issues, and more. To work through these and other concerns, Shannon helps her clients find clarity, understand the root of the problems, work on relationships, develop new skills, find hope and direction, and create purpose.
