Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Newtown, PA

I help individuals and couples navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and personal struggles so they can build confidence, find clarity, and create meaningful change. My passion for counseling began after seeing a family member face mental health challenges, which showed me the importance of having a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a new chapter, therapy can help you recognize your strengths, develop new tools, and move forward with greater hope.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.

Create and live the meaning of your life, whether by improving relationships, thriving within your career, enduring struggle, or saying goodbye. We can help you overcome limiting beliefs or patterns. We can help you embrace new perspectives and solve the problems that need solving. We can help you transcend any setbacks you have experienced, and determine how you can best serve others. Therapy does not have to be rigid; humor is encouraged. We can have fun while applying the best techniques psychology has produced.

Welcome. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing high-quality, evidence-based care in outpatient settings. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.

Shannon is a trauma-informed therapist with a Master of Arts in mental health counseling with a concentration in addiction and offenders counseling from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. She has a Bachelor of Arts in applied psychology and a minor in criminal justice from Penn State University, Berks campus. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a certified advanced alcohol and drugs counselor (CAADC), a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP), certified in dialectical behavior therapy (C-DBT) and a rainbow advocate clinical specialist (RACS).

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 14 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through some of life’s most difficult and overwhelming seasons. I earned my master’s degree in social work and have continued my training in areas including adult ADHD, trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, and mind-body wellness. I am also a certified Adult ADHD Clinical Services Provider and Reiki Master.

My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be fully yourself—not somewhere you have to show up with the “right” words or pretend everything is fine. I offer support while also gently challenging the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, major life transitions, stress, self-esteem issues, and emotional overwhelm. I especially enjoy helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their boundaries, improve their relationships, and create a life that feels more peaceful and intentional.

You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are and work together from there.
