Health Equity Statement
Mental Health Equity Statement I believe mental health is as vital as physical health and that every individual deserves fair access to care, support, and resources. Too often, stigma, financial barriers, and systemic inequities prevent people from receiving the help they need. I am committed to: • Ensuring access to affordable, high-quality mental health care. • Treating all people with dignity, compassion, and respect. • Supporting prevention, early intervention, and long-term wellness. • Promoting services that are culturally sensitive and responsive. • Collaborating with families and communities to strengthen resilience. My goal is to uphold these principles in my own life and in my family, and to advocate for a system where mental health care is a right, not a privilege.

Four things Shannon wants you to know before you begin therapy with her : 1. She wants treatment to work just as much as you do. 2. She is not judging you, and needs to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can\'t heal what you won\'t reveal. 3. She can not and will not fight you for your healing. What that means is: She will not work harder than you do. However, she will be right there beside you as the two of you navigate your Mental Health journey together. 4. If you don\'t connect with her, that\'s okay. Don\'t be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit. Shannon looks forward to working with you! Message to clients Hi: I\'m Shannon: In our first session together, we\'ll start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you\'re facing. If we both agree that we are a fit to work together, we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. While everyone is unique. I\'ve found that clients typically start making measurable progress after our first four sessions together. My goal is to ensure that every client has the tools they need to be their best, and to reach a point where they no longer need me. I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe to be your true self. I\'m here as trusted partner that you can confide in, but also as someone who will challenge you and help you grow. Homework in between sessions is a requirement. This includes worksheets, assessments journaling, etc... If you can not commit to completing homework assignments, I would not be the right therapist for you and wish you well on your therapeutic journey. It is my belief that once an individual understands the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, they will then be able to modify or change their pattern(s) of thinking to cope with stressors in a positive manner. I look forward to meeting you! Licensure California: LMFT93637 - Colorado: MFT.0001970 - Texas: 204401 - Arizona: LMFT-16387 - Nevada: 5090-R Languages English
