More about Shawn
- 2 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Hello! My name is Shawn, I am a therapist located out of Huntsville Alabama. I have been in the field of psychiatry and counseling for over 8 years, licensed for the last few months. I started my journey as a behavioral health technician at our local hospital helping those with severe mental illness, psychiatric needs, crisis issues, and pretty much anything you can find in the DSM I've seen it all. I've also worked in private practice as well as in rehabilitation facilities, so my skills are wide and varied. My hope is to use my skills and knowledge gained to help every person I met to the best of my abilities.
