I empower individuals in Montrose, Houston who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain, and want to better understand themselves and their relationships.
Greetings, I am a therapist in private practice for over fifteen years. I am dually licensed as a mental health therapist and an addictions therapist.
I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, chronic pain, and ADHD. These challenges can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. But you don’t have to go through it alone. I bring not only my professional expertise but also my own personal experience of healing. I know firsthand how intimidating and overwhelming the journey can be. That’s why I’m committed to walking alongside you as a compassionate guide offering tools, empathy, and a safe space for you to explore your past, present, and the future you want to create.
I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. I am committed to helping my clients identify and navigate their feelings, learn healthier coping skills, and ultimately find hope and heal. I have worked with adults and adolescence with eating disorders, substance and behavioral addictions, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, co-dependency, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Some of the hardest seasons people walk through happen around the arrival of new life, the slow unraveling of a relationship, or the quiet grip of something they have never said out loud. I work across all of those seasons as a Licensed Professional Counselor serving children, adolescents, and adults.
Hello and welcome—I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Shanna Gardner, LPC-S, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover a sense of peace, purpose, and emotional wellness.
I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and truly understood. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming stress, navigating a tough life transition, or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
