Shannon Posey, LCSW, LCAC

I have been working in the mental health and social work field for over 20 years, providing therapy for the past 15 years. I am passionate about providing people with a safe space, without judgment, to work side-by-side in their journey of self-growth and development. The professional relationship with clients sets the foundation for progress and growth, so I highly value the importance of developing relationships to include open and honest communication, shared respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. My approach is strength-based, and holistic to consider all areas of life that impact well-being and practice cultural humility. I most often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have a significant amount of experience with helping patients with trauma of various kinds, as well as issues of addiction, depression and mood disorders, anxiety-related disorders, relationships, and grief. I work with children aged 5 and up, adolescents, and adults. I largely provide individual services, adding in family and couples services as appropriate and needed.
