Shannon Hamrick, MDiv, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker and ordained minister with a passion for seeing, knowing, and realizing the sacred worth of all people. I believe we are relational in nature and it is in relationships of all kinds that we learn how to live. I believe we are always in process, all experiences are opportunities for learning and growth, and we can use both strengths and struggles to develop into healthier, more authentic individuals and reduce overall distress. I create a non-judgmental space for clients to show up as they are, work on their goals, and be met with compassion and support.

For child and youth clients, I believe that parental involvement is an important part of an effective therapeutic process. I give parents tools to decrease conflict and increase connection in the parent-child bond, and to develop a healing atmosphere at home as well as in the therapy office.

I help all clients develop and utilize the resources they identify within their own lives, including personal, family, community, faith/spiritual, professional, intellectual, and social. I provide a safe space for people of all faiths, beliefs, gender identification, backgrounds, and orientations, and seek to support all people in more fully becoming the persons they were created to be.

I provide play therapy for children; individual therapy for teens and adults; family counseling; and both relationship and pre-marital couples counseling.
