Meet Shanna Pickens, LMHCA, SUDP

I believe that all individuals have the strength and ability to seek change and balance in their lives, though at times some individuals may need support and assistance in self-discovery and realization of what those strengths and abilities are. Through a variety of therapeutic interventions I aim to help clients overcome various barriers in their lives. With person centered and solution focused therapy approaches, each client’s treatment plan is tailored to help them obtain the necessary coping techniques and knowledge to manage their lives from maladaptive to adaptive living. 

I have more than 10 years experience in the behavioral health field. My emphasis has been with substance use disorder counseling, and over the last three years including mental health counseling. Through my personal and professional experience, I have learned that providing a safe, supportive, and non judgemental environment allows clients to process and work through various issues and achieve goals of balanced living.
