I earned my master's degree in Social Work 29 years ago. Over the course of my career I have enjoyed working with girls and women of all ages. I enjoy supporting girls and women who are navigating middle school, high school, college, relationships, post-partum period, motherhood, divorce, menopause, and becoming empty nesters. I love seeing my clients begin therapy with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, or trauma then graduate from therapy in a much better place. I believe that you can thrive no matter your age and no matter your circumstances. I have less experience helping transgender women but I really enjoy that work as well. I consider myself a LGBTQIA+ ally.

Shannon Hallstrom

Therapist

Virtual • Mesa, AZ


I believe you should not have to spend months in therapy before you begin to feel hope. My goal is for you to leave your very first session with some form of relief, a greater understanding of what you’re experiencing, and a clearer path toward healing. I specialize in trauma, attachment, and recovery, and I work with both children and adults of all ages. At the heart of my work is a deeply held belief that trauma does not have to define the rest of your life. Healing is closer than you think.

Welcome, My name is Hazel and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of nursing experience across both medical and psychiatric settings. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, schizophrenia and psychosis, and substance use disorders, and I’m proud to provide LGBTQ+ affirming care. I was born in the Philippines, where mental health was often disregarded or something people were expected to keep to themselves, and that experience shaped my passion for helping break cycles of intergenerational trauma and silence around mental health. I want you to feel safe being your whole self, heard without judgment, and supported in creating a healthier path forward.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.

I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.

My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.
