My name is Mel Shannon and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I attended Xavier university for my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am licensed in both Kentucky and Ohio. I believe in being genuine and open with my clients and moving at whatever pace they need to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I believe that everyone has great potential to make improvements in their lives and with the right relationship and help, it can be achieved! My specialties include trauma, attachment, depression, relationship issues, and anxiety. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to improve quality of life and to teach skills to help people manage difficult situations and to heal. I offer empathy, kindness, respect, acceptance, and non-judgement to help clients make progress. I use strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Choice theory, Person-Centered Therapy, Strength based Therapy, and have training in Trauma Focused CBT. I believe that everyone has the power to improve their lives, get relief from suffering, and to heal. Talking to someone can be very difficult and scary, and you are already one step closer to making a positive change in your life by looking into therapy! " People start to heal, the moment they are heard" - Cheryl Richardson
