ABOUT GROUP LEADER, SHANNON WISE, MM, MS : RESIDENT IN COUNSELING

Hi there, I’m Shannon, a Resident in Counseling with master’s degrees in vocal performance and pastoral counseling. I offer a spiritually inclusive and affirming space for individuals, couples, and groups, and I honor the sacred worth and diversity of all people.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

As a parent of three, I understand the complexities of parenting, relationships, and life transitions. The arts have been a grounding source of strength, healing, and self-expression for me—especially during times of change—and I often integrate creative approaches into my work with clients. I aim to help people find meaning, build resilience, and reconnect with their inner strengths in seasons of uncertainty or growth.

I specialize in supporting clients with stress, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, life transitions, parenting, family and marital concerns, career and identity discernment, spiritual exploration, religious trauma, and the unique challenges of the sandwich generation.
