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.
Hi, I’m a licensed professional counselor and the founder of Transformed Therapy in Houston, TX. Since 2008, I’ve been walking alongside individuals, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, spiritual concerns, and major life transitions. While I work with men and women, as well as children and teens, a large part of my work is focused on helping men who are facing internal battles—feeling stuck, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of how to lead well in their families, careers, and personal lives.
Whether you're carrying stress silently, dealing with anger or shame, questioning your purpose, or struggling to be the individual you want to be, I provide a place where you can be honest, real, and heard. My approach is practical, faith-centered, and grounded in personal accountability, growth, and grace.
Before launching Transformed Therapy, I served as Director at Memorial Christian Counseling Center and CEO at Integrative Mental Health Solutions, leading crisis response teams across Houston. I also spent 11 years in full-time ministry as a youth and outreach minister, which deeply shaped my commitment to soul care and spiritual restoration.
I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of North Texas and a BA in Philosophy from UT Arlington. When I’m not in session, I’m spending time outdoors with my wife and our five kids—camping, fishing, gardening, or simply enjoying God's creation.
If you're ready to step into change—whether it’s for your mental health, your marriage, your faith, or your identity—I’d be honored to walk with you.
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.
Life is a Journey. On this Journey we're faced with many twists & turns. My practice style is collaborative in nature. It focuses on joint commitment to change. Yet eclectic enough to incorporate different approaches that will help clients as they write and re-write their stories to transform their reality. Whether you are looking to address LGBTQ issues, individual therapy, family or couples therapy, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, addictions, depression or other mental health issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond
Searching for therapists in Richmond starts with finding someone whose background fits what you want to address. A therapist may support concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may look like.
Richmond is a smaller city near the Houston area, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care connected to a therapist licensed in Texas. When narrowing your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and fit beyond basic credentials.
Therapy in Richmond 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 search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
