I’ve been seeing Shawnee for about three years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She has a way of making you feel completely safe and understood while still knowing exactly when to challenge you. She’s helped me understand myself on a much deeper level, recognize patterns, work through some really hard things, and learn to give myself a little more grace along the way. I’ve never felt judged by her. Shawnee is compassionate, genuine, insightful, and somehow knows when I need support and when I need to be lovingly called out. 😂 I’m incredibly grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation. ❤️ but low key if her schedule is full don’t take my slots lol because I was here first. K bye lol

I had my first visit with Shawnee today. she was so amazing. Very understanding, you can tell she really cares about your well being. She was very easy to talk to and told some of my story. I really didn’t think I could do that today but she has a nice warming tone to her voice. If you are looking for someone to talk to I highly recommend Shawnee.

Shawnee Rygiel is one of the best. Talking to her is like talking to a good friend. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a counselor. She know how to help you without being pushy or imposing, she listens to what you have to say and gives you suggestions on how to help yourself.

This journey has became so much lighter and hopeful because of Shawnee and the effort she gives to connecting with you. She’s honest and human with her care, not just a technical health provider. If I could hire her as my personal therapist, I would. Thanks Shawnee!
