Albany Therapists
Shannon Waters, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Clinical Supervisor
Life is a journey, one never knows when there might be a twist that could be overwhelming. Sometimes we need someone who is unbiased to share those twists, and it takes courage to reach out for professional help.
Are you trying to navigate life living with anxiety, depression, or trauma.? Do you feel discouraged, unappreciated, or alone in your life? It is my passion to walk beside you to help you develop self-compassion, mindfulness, conflict resolution, and inner strengths and to implement the tools you need to continue to live a joy-filled life through the journeys of life.
Shannon’s Approach
I believe in an individualized approach to therapy with a lot of collaboration from you, the client. I utilize multiple theoretical approaches that fit the client’s needs; however, person-centered therapy is usually where the therapeutic relationship work begins. You are the expert in the room, and I am simply here to provide direction and therapeutic expertise as we navigate life’s challenges together.
