Get to know Shantel

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

I have seen the effects of mental illness in my own family at a very young age and it became apparent that to be an agent of change, I need to be an active member of such.

What types of clients do you work with best?

Those that are transparent and ready to put in the work.

What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

Clients that have little to no experience with counseling - your journey to a more healthy, rewarding life, can begin here.

What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?

This is your journey, you can speak up and take charge of your growth however you see fit.

Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?

Thriveworks allows for flexibility in both in-person and telehealth and accepts a wide variety of clients/presenting issues.

What inspires you?

New experiences.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

Questions, lots of getting to know the company, the clinician, the client, and areas of concern.

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?

Get to know the client, them get to know me, and see if they are a good fit.
