“I began working with Shannon after a very low point in my life. For years I battled my addiction to drugs and alcohol, which led to me losing custody of my children. At first, I was angry. I didn’t want to change because I was so used to using drugs to help me cope with my emotions. Shannon helped me to explore the reasons I turned to drugs and alcohol and how that had negatively affected me and my family. She pushed me to make changes in my life to not only better myself, but to help me be a better parent to my children. I am happy to say that I was successful in my treatment and had my children returned to my care! Before working with Shannon I didn’t know how harmful my choices were on my family. Shannon was patient with me, kind and never judged me for my actions. I learned a lot about myself while working with her and now have healthy ways to cope with my anxiety and depression. I have Shannon to thank for helping to restore my family. Without her support, I’m not sure I would have been as successful.”
