Are you ready to improve your mental heath and willing to put the work in to do it? I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida, Kansas and New York, and a board certified Tele-mental health counselor. I have been treating clients in a variety of settings to include forensics, foster care and adult mental health. A variety of mental health concerns that I address include, but are not limited to, sexual addiction, anxiety, depression, phase of life problems, relationships issues, nutrition/exercise, and other mental health concerns. I utilize various counseling theories and techniques to tailor each session to my client's needs. I believe in a holistic and natural approach in order to have a balanced life. When or if desired, physical wellness can be a focus as I have personal training experience. Christian counseling is also available to those who desire this as well. Each person that enters counseling in my practice is considered unique and will be treated fairly without fear of judgment. The only thing that I ask of you is that you are READY TO WORK and that you are looking to put in the work necessary to make the changes that are needed to make it to your goals. You are your own agent of change! I'm only here to guide you along through the process of this and to support you as you need it! Looking forward to working with you on this journey!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shannon Brandes. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've tried dozens of therapists over several decades. Shannon is my first success at being able to connect. She's an answer to prayers.

Her use of the Deconstructing Anxiety model has absolutely changed my life and has given me the structure and knowledge to understand what is happening in my brain, body and with my emotions and to give me the tools to change my life. I recommend her and this model to everyone who really wants to change their lives to one that is more fulfilled and less out of fear!

She has helped me to deal with numerous issues in my life. By first just listening to all you have to say. Never just do this or that, but seeing what your mind and soul needs to work on to move to the next step.
