Shawnda O'Briant-Noone, Student Therapist

We all carry stories within our bodies and minds. 

Whatever story brought you here, you are welcome to come as you are. 

Rooted in curiosity and nonjudgment, I intend to co-create a warm space that allows for meaningful exploration of your internal world to foster a more compassionate connection with your mind, body, and relationships. Using a holistic, somatic (body-oriented), and trauma-informed approach, we will gradually untangle your story in a way that best honors and affirms the innate wisdom you carry from your lived experiences and identities. Together, we will identify your hopes for change, brainstorm supportive coping strategies to support your goals, tap into your strengths, and celebrate your wins, all while having some laughs along the way too.

I am passionate about working with clients experiencing life transitions, anxiety, PTSD, chronic illness, and those in partnerships (couples, polycules, best friends, business partners, etc.) seeking to expand their communication toolkit. 

When I'm not immersed in the world of mental health, I value the moments that bring joy, rest, and connection through traveling, painting, meditation, gardening, reading, playing video games, or exploring the PNW with my partner and two dogs.
