Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Durango, CO

Hello,

I am a dually trained Psychiatic Mental Health NP as well as a Family NP. I graduated from the university of Alabama in 2016 (roll tide). While I work with people of all walks of life I especially enjoy treating women age 18-45 . I enjoy helping them navigate through transitional/challenging periods of life whether you're in college, just entering the workforce or a stay at home mom trying to juggle it all. I'm here and ready to help you feel more regulated and capable to meet life's demands. I specialize in anxiety, depression ADHD and PTSD . I have a patient centered collaborative approach. I emphasize education and empowerment.

I am passionate about helping support my clients in their process of self-discovery and healing. I believe that therapy can help us evolve in our relationships with others and most importantly with ourselves, as we heal from shame and trauma that results in behaviors and mindsets that are limiting and unhelpful. I believe in our resilience, and that as we heal from emotional wounds, we allow our true, authentic selves to evolve and thrive.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Regis, with a MA in counseling psychology and became a licensed therapist, later earning an MBA in Healthcare Administration with honors, while working for a large health plan.

Throughout my career, I’ve stayed committed to growth, continued education, and surrounding myself with great mentors. Mentors are valuable at every stage of a career. I’ve learned navigating life successfully is about discovering what works and learning from others who share their journey.

I grew up near Columbus, Ohio (Go Buckeyes!) and have called Colorado home since graduating from CSU. I love the arts- museums, theater/movies, and comedy. Love the outdoors and staying active- skiing, hiking, travel, and time with family and friends. Even though landlocked here in CO, I love seaside living- paddle-boarding, snorkeling, or volunteering in sea turtle conservation.

Choosing a therapist, especially if it's a first time, it’s important to feel heard, accepted, and genuinely valued. It truly makes a difference about treatment success!

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.
