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.
You might not even be able to imagine happiness because you never learned how to dream. As a collaborative, strengths-based therapist, I can teach you to understand where that comes from, so you can grow into your identity(ies) and start dreaming of your future. This is called thriving.
Exploring our inner world is an important step towards true emotional development. As a native Houstonian, I am deeply rooted in assisting children, adolescents, and young adults in our community navigate their daily experiences, social interactions, and life transitions. With over 20 years of mental health experience in a variety of settings, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (private practice) and a School Psychologist (public schools). I work with individuals experiencing social difficulties, anxious feelings, negative emotions, and provide a safe place for process daily experiences.
Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I create a supportive, welcoming space where clients feel heard while using evidence-based approaches to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship concerns. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and support lasting positive change.
I have been an LPC for the past nine years and a school counselor for fifteen. I have experience helping children and adolescents process big emotions as well as adults struggling with anxiety, self esteem and relationship issues.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pasadena, TX
Searching for therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look for someone whose training and listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that may fit what you’re looking for.
Pasadena is a smaller market within the Houston area, so local in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions for more flexibility. When narrowing your options, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin care. Headway helps you search for Pasadena therapy by insurance, specialty, location, availability, and session format. You can review therapist bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
