Shannon Woolner, M.Ed
Lead Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor
If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re feeling the need to make some changes in your life and are trying to figure out how to go about this. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that life is hard, and at times overwhelming. It takes courage to acknowledge the need for support, and you have already made an important first step.
My goal is to offer you a safe space by listening to you with openness, curiosity and compassion. I will strive to create a supportive environment in which you feel free to explore your thoughts and feelings, and identify your goals. Perhaps you hope to ease your suffering, deal with trauma (past or present), free yourself from an unhealthy behaviour, or adjust to life transitions. Whatever it may be, we will collaborate to determine how to most effectively help you move forward.
Regardless of your specific goals, my hope is that our work together will help you achieve increased wellness mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.
I graduated with an M.Ed (Counselling Program) at the University of Calgary and a BA in Psychology and English at Trent University. I have been working in the field of addiction and mental health for more than 15 years.
Some of my areas of focus include:
Trauma
Depression
Anxiety
Grief and Loss
Stress
Life Transitions
Chronic Pain and Illness
Relationship and Family Issues
Clinical supervision
Based on your presenting concern (ex. depression) and personal characteristics, I will draw from a variety of evidence-based strategies in our work together. I have training and experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training).
