Shannon M. Herr LMHC CASAC CEAP

“Shannon was wonderful during a difficult time in my life with a divorce and narcissistic abuse. She helped me stand up for myself and recognize patterns of abuse/coercive control that were present for 20 years of marriage. Counseling is hard, but Shannon was very easy to talk to and open up to.”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Shannon Herr and the help she has been to me in my life. In 2005 I lost everything I had worked my entire life. My marriage of 25 years, my home, my graduate program, even my family. I was unemployed and facing health issues as well. All seemed lost. I didn’t give up however and put a personal program together to not only survive, but thrive. I eventually got a job and the company I worked for had a program for mental wellness and so I opted for visits to Child and Family Services which is where I met Shannon. She was positive, optimistic, hopeful and compassionate. I felt totally at east to discuss the wide range of difficulties I was facing and she always had a kind word for me when I didn’t and always had a hopeful outlook for me as well. Every session with her was like a new beginning and a fresh start. Because of her expert counseling, I no longer saw what I had lost but instead saw what I had gained. She gently lead me to a better world, where it was actually ok to be happy in spite of your external circumstances. In the book of my life she is one of the most important in it. After all I had gone through instead of being bitter, I was instead better because of her. And instead of feeling my future was one of despair, now it is filled with hope.”
