She also integrates Transactional Analysis/Redecision Therapy and ego state therapy through her training at the Southeast Institute in Chapel Hill under Dr. Vann Joines. Her passion is trauma therapy, and she strives to help others quickly relieve mental strife caused by adverse life events. Shanna founded Integrity Counseling & Wellness with the goal of providing effective mental health services to those who wish to create lasting change in their lives. 

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy was developed as the top treatment for post-traumatic stress, and following additional research, it has been applied to treat depression, anxiety, self-damaging behavior, and other issues. EMDR is a rapid and powerful technique that can create lasting change. It is endorsed by the World Health Organization, American Psychiatric Association, and the Department of Defense and has been added to the Veterans Administration’s clinical guidelines for the treatment of PTSD.    

“With more than fifteen years in the mental health field, I am experienced in helping individuals with all backgrounds. I treat a range of issues including depression and anxiety. I specialize in trauma, both complex and single event traumas. I use an integrated therapy model and am pleased to be able to work from a evidence-informed approach. 

Whether you carry pain from an unfortunate incident, such as an accident, loss, or distress from other events, trauma-informed therapy may be a good choice for you. I can adjust to meet both short and long term needs. I strive to ensure your comfort with the counseling process and create a sense of safety to guide you toward relief with minimal time in therapy.”
