Shannon Powe-Saunders

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 18 years of experience in the helping profession. I began my career as a Mental Health/Substance Use Case Manager, where I linked individuals who were diagnosed with a mental health or substance use disorder to needed resources in their community. After completing my masters degree in Community Counseling, I began to counsel various individuals and families who experienced issues with: depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance use/dependency and other life issues and events.
I am a warm, relatable person who believes that each person is currently on their own life’s journey. During that journey we experience things that can be pleasant as well as things that can be painful. Therapy/counseling can help serve as a guide to help us navigate those unpleasant moments and painful experiences. Respect and empathy are my guiding principles. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Psycho-Dynamic and Humanistic Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Person Centered Thinking concepts and techniques.
Taking the first steps toward change can be difficult at times. If you are ready to begin the journey of healing and positive change I am here to support and encourage you.
I look forward to meeting you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether counseling delivered online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, remote therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

A major benefit of online therapy is scheduling flexibility and the ability to choose the communication method that feels most comfortable – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life.

Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they are seeking a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible way to pursue support and make progress on common emotional and relational concerns.
