Counselor bio

About Shannon

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of healthcare experience. My background spans emergency department, primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and emotional well-being. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders.

My practice focuses on providing evidence-based medication management paired with supportive, collaborative care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment plans to their unique needs, preferences, and goals. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and holistic. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. If you’re looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized care, I’m here to help you take the next step in your mental health journey. 

“Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all. I believe in evidence-based treatment, meaningful connection, and empowering each person to become an active partner in their healing.”

Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kaitlyn was patient and kind, but she also gave me a different perspective to look at various things in my life. She truly made a difference and I'm only leaving because I'm moving out of state wish I could keep seeing her!! Recommend her to anyone!

Emily Ladd, LSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Its difficult to put into words the amount of help Emily has provided me without crying. When I first started this journey like most men I was skeptical at best. And had failed every time I attempted counseling. I knew I needed help but I didn’t know what I needed, thru this first 90 days not only have I felt heard but have worked thru EDM exercises, and have been able to put a name to a lot of the issues I’m facing while also understand you don’t have to be broken forever. She has been extremely patient with me, but also very good at challenging me at the same time. She has given me great resources that fit my life style (I’m not sitting down reading a book but I will listen to a podcast while I’m driving) she truly has been a blessing to not only me but also my children as my relationship is improving with them as well.
