My name is Shannon Hansen, MS, LMFT. I work with adult individuals, couples, and a variety of relational dynamics, offering a warm, compassionate yet unconventional therapy environment. In addition to teletherapy, I offer equine assisted psychotherapy and nature-based therapy for those who are wanting a more engaging therapeutic experience. I love offering a safe space to metaphorically, and literally, get messy in the deep dive of gaining a better understanding of the human experience. With the support of myself, the animals, and many other beings of the natural world, together we will dive in and emerge with the resources and understanding that will help you thrive in life and relationships.
I specialize in helping clients reconnect with the power that’s already within them. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m the passenger here to support, guide, and travel alongside you. With a trauma-informed and person-centered approach, I work with adults of all ages on challenges like anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. As a clinician who identifies as LGBTQIA+, I also aim to be a supportive and empowering presence for those navigating identity, belonging, and self-trust.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teenagers and older and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vital to the success of therapy. I have years of experience working with children, teenagers and young adults, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. My approach is to be open-minded, compassionate, supportive and encouraging with an end goal to help you develop the coping skills or address the issue to be able to navigate life to its fullest. My goal is to challenge you while offering a non-judgmental space for you to process feelings and discover your inner self.
I earned my graduate degree in Social Work at the University of South Carolina and my undergraduate at Iowa State University in Child Adult and Family Studies and Psychology.

All of these experiences have shaped how I view mental health and how important it is to treat the whole person.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arvada
Searching for therapists in Arvada starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life change. As you compare Arvada therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Arvada is a smaller city within the Denver metro area, so local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Colorado. Some people prefer an in-person office near Olde Town Arvada, Standley Lake, or another nearby area, while others prefer virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, compare availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios closely can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Arvada can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
