“I am always apprehensive about meeting new people, especially in the therapy realm. I was pleasantly surprised with Shawn. She is direct and well-intentioned. She started right in with things that would benefit me and my partner and even after the first session felt heard and developed a plan of action. The most productive session I have ever participated in. ”
“I have only had two sessions with Shawn so far but I can honestly say that I’ve never felt like I’ve connected with a therapist before the way I feel like I connect with Shawn. She’s very easy to open up to and she helps me think through things in different ways. She’s encouraged me to create various good habits for myself in order to help me work towards my goals. I’m thankful to be on this journey of improving my mental health and overall state of mind with her. ”
“Very attentive and gives very good advice and opinions/feedback. I really connected with her. ”
“Wow. She is the best therapist I’ve ever had without a doubt. So lucky to have been matched with her during a horrific family crisis ”
“I absolutely love working with Shawn. She is very compassionate, caring and nurturing. In the 1st session I was very comfortable because of her warm presence. She is very patient and understanding and works with me to identify methods to help me work though difficulties. I most certainly recommend her over and over again ”
“Shawn has already helped me start to get on a better track and given me great insight into different ways to get myself where I need to be. I’m great full for her. ”
“I felt that Shawn Mcgivern has excellent listening skills and would respond with really great advice in the moment. She is direct and caring. I like to get things done and out of the way and she has helped me expediate my therapy sessions. Not that I am finished, but I have directions and tools that I can work on and then hopefully circle back to Shawn for follow up.”
“I really appreciate Shawn's warmness and genuine care and concern. She has made it very comfortable for me to express distressing emotions and reassures me that I have her support. She checks in on me in between sessions , which is a huge plus for me. I am very happy to have personally selected her to work with. She's a very kind hearted and compassionate Therapist (and person) Shara ”
“Shawn is very compassionate and perceptive. She has a non-threatening and helpful approach to providing therapy. You can tell she really cares. ”
“Shawn is insightful and has been a great help to me with the challenges I’ve faced this year. Talking to her has definitely helped me for the better in making tough decisions!”
“I only had one session with Shawn Mcgivern But during that time I was very impressed and found her to be very supportive in my case. She is professional and if you don’t appreciate truth, choose another therapist because she holds no punches. That is something that I required & I am grateful for that.”
“Shawn is very helpful and the perfect match for me. Although brief, she really gave me the insight into the issues that I have and I feel more than confident to apply her guidance, for sure. She is empathetic, sympathetic, transparent, sensitive and easy going ; a wonderful person and great counselor. Anyone would be blessed to have her in their corner Thank you Shawn Shara”
“She was very helpful and gave me better ways to think about things that bother me. I'm new to this whole therapy and counseling so I don't know the best way to go about it, but she is understanding from what I have seen so far. I wish I could talk about the more deep thoughts and feelings, but I don't quite know how to bring it up.”
