Hello! I am glad you found your way here and I have the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a trauma-trained Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. My professional background includes extensive work with trauma survivors, as well as children, adolescents, and adults navigating mental health concerns and life transitions. If you are visiting this page, please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Take the next step in your self-care journey and reach out by phone or email to learn more about how we can work together.


I believe it is important for clients to find a counselor that fits their personality. I combine effective research based approaches with a warm, friendly, southern personality. There is almost always laughter somewhere in my sessions, even on the tough days. Client's should leave counseling sessions with a feeling of being lighter, understood, and valued.


Life is hard and we all face challenges that can feel too big to handle on our own. Luckily you don't have to walk through these challenges alone.

12030 Bandera Road, Helotes, TX

I’m an LPC based in San Antonio, Texas. I have a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in military families and culture. I’m also a Certified DBT Therapist and a member of the ACA.

I’ve worked in mental health since 2018, starting in a psychiatric hospital where I gained broad experience with a wide range of diagnoses and acute care needs.

That foundation, combined with my private practice work, has shaped a grounded, trauma-informed, and practical style to provide you with a therapy experience that is unique to your needs.

I work with adolescents (13 and up) and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, chronic illness, and neurodivergence.

Therapist

I'm Shannon.

In addition to being a Licensed Mental Health Provider (LMFT), I am also a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator (NCPM), Family Law Mediation CME, Certified Specialist In Anger Management (CSAM), Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), and a Parent Plan Coordinator/Special Master.

At this time, our clinicians do not provide EMDR or ADHD-specific assessment or treatment. EMDR and ADHD requires specialized training and interventions. Please connect with a qualified specialist to ensure the most appropriate care.

I have over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, teens, individuals, couples, and families from culturally diverse populations on a wide range of issues and concerns..

I am licensed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas.

At this time, I only provide services virtually through a secure telehealth system.

Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:

1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do.

2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal.

3. I will not fight you for your healing.

What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.

4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.

I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to improve their overall mental health, and is ready to learn the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

For more information, please visit: www.skttherapy.com

I look forward to working with you!

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lufkin

Searching for therapists in Lufkin starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties listed in each profile and note the approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.

In a smaller city like Lufkin, the number of local in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger Texas metros. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. If you searched for counseling in Lufkin, TX, a licensed professional counselor near you, marriage counseling in Lufkin, or a psychotherapist near you in person, these details can help you decide which therapist is a practical fit.

Therapy in Lufkin can be a significant expense 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 compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Lufkin, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
