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.

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
