Dr. Shawna Freshwater - Neuropsychologist

I am Dr. Shawna Freshwater. I am a PhD Clinical Psychologist and PhD Neuropsychologist.

If you are here right now, then you may be struggling.  I know it takes a lot of courage to be considering therapy. I  am so glad you are here.  I feel there is nothing worse than being alone in pain and feeling lost.  Sometimes, we feel like we are less than if guidance is needed.  However, by caring for yourself, you are actually providing a valuable and compassionate service.  It is about showing up for yourself, so you can be the healthiest you can be for yourself, your relationships, your profession, and Life.   I work with individuals who may be feeling “stuck”, but are ambitious, proactive, and motivated to make changes in their lives so they are living life joyfully and at peace.

My approach to therapy is multifaceted because You are multifaceted.   My practice conceptualizes your unique personality, sensitivities, strengths, lifestyle, and current life circumstances.  I utilize “evidence based scientific therapeutic modalities“.  I customize therapies based on your goals, current unique needs, and unique personality.

I do not use a “one size fits all” manual approach that many mental health workers utilize due to their limited training.   I have a full clinical assessment skill set and treatment specialties menu.  I am an integrationist holistic practitioner.  I view cognitive, emotional, behavioral, personality, relational, and physical struggles from a whole person perspective to identify the underlying causes of disharmony.

I also know that *BrainMindBodyEmotionBehaviorRelationalSpiritual Balance is the key integral part of wellness. I believe in empowering individuals to learn to heal and empower themselves, supporting them on their journey. I believe that everyone with the right tools has the power to become their own healer and PowerHouse.

I provide a safe and supportive space to help you gain the clarity you need to understand how your past may have contributed to current challenges, behaviors, emotions, beliefs, relationships;  and also shaped you into the unique person you are today.   While insight is important, that is just the first step in empowering you with the skills to make necessary changes to improve your health and how you live your life.

I will help you learn skills that will address your most pressing needs and leverage your strengths.  I will guide you to explore ways of reacting (thinking, emotions, behaviors) that may be preventing you from achieving optimal holistic health and the success you deserve.

I offer psychotherapy, guidance, coaching, and support as you make practical and epic changes to improve your health and precious life. We will also work together through any resistance, roadblocks, or obstacles that may get in your way.  It is my goal your success ~ with the Power to Be Your Best Self.
