Let’s be real – the Green Power Ranger spoke to you. You’re probably a fellow nerd who enjoys a good cosplay and is looking for a therapist who does more than not judge, but you want one who is in the fandom, speaks the same language and maybe, actually gets it? Maybe you feel like you don’t belong, are constantly misunderstood, or that your brain works differently from others? Afraid to expose your secrets and your true self to those around you? Afraid of info dumping about why the Green Ranger is the best Ranger and the looks you may get from doing so? You’re not alone, especially if you’re neurodivergent!
 
I often help people struggling with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I’m personally neurodivergent, and because of that, I’m passionate about working with the neurodivergent community. I’m also quite familiar with nerd/geek culture and I love to integrate this culture into sessions when clients want it! Come show up in costume or not!
 
I provide neuro-affirming care and use evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT and ACT skills, PCT and Mindfulness practices. I also enjoy providing psychoeducation to clients curious about their mental health. I offer a non-judgmental space where clients can be their authentic selves! The practice I work at is also run by weirdos for weirdos!

Hi everyone! I am Shannon O’Hearn, a master’s student at Old Dominion University. I am currently working on earning my M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health at ODU. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from ODU as well.
 
In my sessions you can expect me to show up as my authentic and weird self. I hope to provide a warm, comforting, and safe space for you to be able to express thoughts and emotions. I have a passion for those who are in the LGBTQ+ community and minorities but everyone is welcome here! I believe creating a strong, nonjudgemental, and supportive counseling relationship is necessary for our work to progress. I see myself as a guide in your life journey instead of an expert directing your treatment. We will collaborate in identifying goals and treatments to create a unique therapeutic journey made for you. My ultimate goal is to guide, teach, and empower you until your goals are met. I do this by working with you to find things that work for you, in the hopes that you can learn to use them one day without me. I use an integrated approach that combines parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, person-centered
therapy, and more. 
 
A little about me I identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I am Chamorro (Indigenous peoples of Guam) and White. I enjoy gaming, reading, cooking, and baking. Some of my favorite games are Stardew Valley, Sims 4, The Last of Us Part 1, Baldur's Gate 3, Dungeons and Dragons, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Some of my favorite book genres are fantasy and mystery. I also have a 5 year old hound mix dog named Rosemary, she is a little anxious like me. Overall, I really look forward to the privilege of working with you. It is an honor to be a part of your journey.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or unsure about what it is exactly you are even experiencing then I am here to help! Life is hard, especially lately, but you are so equipped and I am here to support you in finding your existing strengths and developing new ones. I work to build trust and safety to help reduce shame and increase self-compassion. As a late-in-life diagnosed neurodivergent person, I have spent a lot of time unlearning and learning things to better support myself and I strive to support others in finding what has been working and what may need some changing.

I have a Bachelors in Biology with minors in Psychology and Zoology so I values research and evidence, but also lived experience. As a social worker, I am conscious of how systems impact our wellbeing and will work alongside you to find resources and develop effective ways to navigate these systems. Meaning, when the world is on fire, sometimes our responses to that are very valid and what we need in those moments may just be a listening ear or resources.

Psychology Today Profile
I’m a licensed professional counselor with 9 years of experience across therapeutic day treatment, community-based counseling, and both inpatient and outpatient care. I’ve worked with clients aged 5-65 and am passionate about serving my community, with a focus on cultural sensitivity and LGBTQIA+ affirmation. I hold a bachelor’s degree in human development and family sciences and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling.

I am client-centered and adaptable, meeting individuals where they are in their healing process. I bring an eclectic approach to therapy, using DBT, EMDR, IFS, Trauma-focused CBT, strength-based therapy, and mindfulness. I specialize in fostering self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and improved self-esteem, particularly for clients healing from trauma, including intergenerational trauma, improving relationships, and developing coping strategies.

One can expect a gentle, calm, warm, personable, and compassionate approach in therapy sessions with me. I believe that creating a safe and supportive environment is essential for meaningful growth and healing. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply looking for guidance on your personal journey, I am here to listen without judgment, help you navigate your emotions, and provide the tools you need to create positive change in your life. My approach is rooted in understanding, patience, and respect for your individual process. I am committed to helping you uncover your inner strengths and build resilience, no matter where you are on your path.

I am a passionate advocate for both mental health and social justice. I believe mental health is just as essential as physical health, and everyone can benefit from therapy whether it’s to process a tough day or simply have an unbiased space to talk. Seeking therapy isn’t reserved for times of crisis; prioritizing mental health and well-being is valuable at any stage. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, going on hikes with my dog, playing board games, traveling, and exploring new restaurants.

I am a LPC with experience in working with a wide range of mental health issues, including, Depression Anxiety, Trauma, and Neurodiversity. I am especially interested in working with individuals in transition points in their lives. These transitions can be in many forms, physical, emotional, career, relational, familial, identity or spiritual. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink ally and poly ally. In my career I have worked in crisis counseling, and I am familiar with a variety of mental health issues. I have experience with depression, anxiety, ADHD, phobias, and OCD. I take a holistic and trauma informed care approach. I may pull from many areas of my client’s life experience to guide their personal development. Narrative, metaphor, leisure activities may all be incorporated into my sessions.
 
On a more personal note, counseling is my second act. I was a stay- at -home mother for two amazing people, one of whom has disabilities. I also divorced after a decades long marriage and have seized this opportunity to delve deeper into my own self development. I became employed full time, continued my education, ran some incredible races, rediscovered dating and found a challenging and rewarding new path. I look forward to being a resource to my clients as they negotiate the challenges that they are experiencing. Lastly, I do not have a second language, but I am quite familiar with Simlish.

Metaphysical: Reiki

I am a Resident in Counseling with a broad range of experience working with many mental health difficulties. I began as a research assistant at VCU and worked my way to Psychometrist at the Veterans Affairs in Richmond, VA. This experience led to getting my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in Military and Veteran mental health. I was trained in Reiki and provide metaphysical services as well.

My approach to counseling is to help guide people into a further understanding of their mind, body, soul, and spirit. With curious exploration, I aim to keep an open mind for listening to the client’s whole story to get a holistic understanding of someone’s well-being. I strive to be a gentle presence in the room and provide stability for clients. During sessions, I encourage folx to reflect upon their life story as if it were reading their own autobiography. Healing from emotional hardships and gaining connection back to our bodies needs proper support. In session, we can take an in-depth into those life experiences that have created a block between mind, body, and soul. I enjoy working with folx trying to understand themselves and former experiences on a deeper level. While our past does not define us, sometimes those past events can create further difficulties in how we walk through life. My approach is to guide those sitting across from me to reflect on their inner and outer life and encourage advocacy for their own voice.
