About Shannon

Shannon Schierenbeck is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who received her Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Therapy from Montclair State University. Her clinical and research background has focused heavily on trauma, crisis intervention, emotional regulation, and supporting individuals through difficult life experiences with compassion and understanding. Shannon’s passion is helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions while building healthier coping skills and greater confidence in themselves. She is known for creating a therapeutic environment that feels warm, supportive, and emotionally safe, while also helping clients challenge unhelpful patterns and take meaningful steps toward change. She believes therapy should be a space where people feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to grow at their own pace. Her approach to treatment emphasizes evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strengths-based interventions. Shannon tailors treatment to each individual’s unique experiences and goals, combining a nurturing and patient approach with honest, direct communication to help clients create lasting and meaningful change.
