Specialized Clinical Expertise

As a veteran clinician, Shannon pioneered the Integrative Team Treatment approach at TWCC. She specializes in advanced modalities that address the root causes of emotional dysregulation and relational barriers:

• EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A specialized protocol for processing traumatic memories and overcoming PTSD.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Providing clients with concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness.

• Gestalt Play Therapy: Utilizing experiential techniques to help children and families heal attachment-based wounds.

• Trauma & Attachment: Specialized focus on parental alienation, relationship incongruence, and developmental growth.

Group Practice Owner’s Philosophy: The Journey to Wellness

Shannon believes that the therapy room should be a reflective, compassionate, and safe environment where “baggage” can be unpacked without judgment. Her approach is rooted in the belief that every individual is on an ever-evolving path toward joy and authenticity.

“Processing our thoughts, memories, and emotions allows us to identify the barriers carried from our past. My goal is to help you identify those ‘stuck points’ so you can honor the authentic nature of your being and connect with those who support your ongoing growth.” — Shannon Hiser

Integrated Perspective & Values

Shannon is a believer in Jesus Christ and brings a perspective of grace and service to her leadership. While she provides clinical (non-certified) counseling, she welcomes clients to share their own beliefs, struggles, and spiritual challenges as they define their own path to healing.
