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.

Therapist

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.
