I’ve always been drawn to hearing people’s stories and learning about their perspectives. As a therapist, I focus on creating a calm and welcoming space where you can gain insight and feel validated.
I’m Shauna Rowland, LMHC, and I’m passionate about helping people feel grounded, understood, and supported as they navigate life’s ups and downs. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can show up exactly as you are — stressed, overwhelmed, curious, hopeful, or anywhere in between.
I’ve had the privilege of working with clients of all ages in college counseling, community mental health, and partial hospitalization settings. Across these experiences, one thing has stayed the same: people heal best when they feel genuinely seen.
My approach combines talk therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies to help you manage stress, understand your patterns, and build resilience. I’m client-centered and an active listener who moves at your pace where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
I am dedicated to discovering what works best for each of my clients. I am passionate about promoting self-care and finding strategies to help you stay motivated.

My go-to approach for treating depression is to use CBT techniques as well as mindfulness techniques. I enjoy using CBT, as it can help provide insight into depressive thoughts or behaviors, and mindfulness helps separate the client from their struggles.
I teach a variety of techniques and tools in depression therapy, including grounding techniques. Grounding techniques are skills to utilize when in high emotional states to help ground the person in the present rather than being stuck in the future or the past.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in their treatment of depression when they are able to recognize their depressive thoughts as their depression rather than just their thoughts.
Clients can supplement their time in counseling through meaningful connections with others and body movements (i.e. walking, exercising, moving, etc.).
To prepare for your first session to treat depression, you can show up with a desire and willingness to challenge mindsets and change.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Quincy, MA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Quincy, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

Depression therapy at Thriveworks Counseling in Quincy places focus on the client’s unique needs and goals.

The depression therapists at Thriveworks in Quincy are equipped and eager to help you manage your depression and live happily again. Reach out today to get started.
There are actually four individual categories of therapy and your counselor will choose one only after getting to know you and your goals. In some cases, they may choose to use several types of therapies. The four main options are:
Each type of therapy has its own unique benefits. As mentioned earlier, your depression therapist will utilize the best approach based on you and your needs. That said, when you come to us for counseling, you don’t simply throw up your arms and follow our lead – unless you want to. If you believe there’s a certain type of therapy you’re most interested in, then let us know. If you have particular goals you’d like to achieve in depression therapy, tell us.
