Shannon Washington, LPC
Specializes In:
Shannon Washington, LPC, helps individuals, couples, and families in Missouri navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. She works with adults of all ages, including young adults, midlife individuals, and seniors, creating a supportive space where clients can explore their concerns and develop meaningful strategies for growth. Shannon offers individual, couples, and family therapy to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self-esteem.
Shannon’s approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), couples/marital counseling, and family therapy, which allows her to provide practical tools that foster lasting change. She also incorporates parenting skills when working with families, tailoring each session to the unique needs of her clients. Her work with the LGBTQ+ community, as well as with men and women, emphasizes her dedication to inclusivity and creating a safe, affirming environment for every client.
She is especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating life transitions, whether it’s early adulthood, midlife adjustments, or later-life changes. Shannon helps her clients manage feelings of uncertainty, stress, or identity shifts that often accompany these milestones. By focusing on resilience and self-discovery, she empowers clients to approach transitions with confidence and clarity.
Outside of her practice, Shannon enjoys staying active through working out, solving escape rooms with friends, and reading. These interests reflect her balance of curiosity, problem-solving, and self-care—qualities she also brings to her therapeutic work.
