Shanna Breen(She/Her/Hers)

I am dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, trauma-informed, and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. With a background in psychology and expertise in behavioral therapy, including a specialization in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive disorder), eating disorders, and anxiety-related disorders, I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities.

My approach to ERP, recognized as the gold standard for OCD treatment, goes beyond symptom reduction to enhance overall quality of life. Through supportive, structured interventions, I aim to empower clients to confront their fears and develop effective coping strategies for lasting well-being.

In my work with eating disorders, I emphasize a compassionate and holistic approach that focuses on body neutrality, flexibility, and understanding the multifaceted nature of these challenges. I believe in addressing not just the symptoms but also the underlying psychological and emotional factors that contribute to disordered eating behaviors. I strive to help clients achieve sustainable improvements in their relationship with food, body image, and overall well-being.

I also integrate principles of self-compassion into my practice, helping clients cultivate a kinder and more accepting relationship with themselves. My approach is client-centered and aimed at helping individuals build agency, work through challenges, gain insight, and develop coping strategies.

Overall, I believe in the power of human connection and am committed to building strong, client-centered, collaborative, therapeutic relationships with my clients in a supportive environment grounded in evidence-based practices. I hope to empower my clients to make positive changes in their lives and to support them on their journey toward well-being and personal growth.
