Therapist Review Summary
Contrast in Therapeutic Approach
The reviews highlight a significant difference in the therapists' approaches. On one hand, Shauna's approach is criticized for being unrelational and impersonal, with the client feeling unheard and unseen. On the other hand, she is commended for being caring, making clients feel heard, and helping them find their own tools to process their emotions differently.
Unethical Practices
One reviewer accuses Shauna of being unethical by listing addiction therapy as a specialty on her website when, in reality, she does not specialize in it. This lack of transparency raises concerns about her professionalism.
Trauma Caused by Therapist
A reviewer shares a negative experience where Shauna's behavior during a termination session led to trauma. This experience has had a lasting impact on the client, making it difficult for them to receive proper closure.
Positive Experiences
In contrast, other reviewers praise Shauna for being compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable in her practice. They appreciate her commitment to her clients' healing and feel that she truly wants to help them.
