Shawn Blagden
Licensed Mental Health Counselor / Licensed Alcohol and drug counselor
My therapeutic approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and seen.
I offer evidence-based strategies to help you explore your thought life, uncover the roots of distress, and build the tools needed for emotional regulation, increased self-worth, and experience more connection in your relationships.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, or relationship issues, therapy is a space to rediscover your inner strength and move toward the life you want to live ~ with greater Clarity and Ease.
You Deserve a Life That Feels Like Your Own
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you ~ it’s about helping you reconnect with your inner strengths, shift patterns that no longer serve you, and move toward the life you want to live.
