Hi! I'm Chanin (pronounced Shannon) I'm so glad you're here. Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed, on guard, and people pleasing. Maybe you say "I'm fine" when you feel anything but. You do not have to carry this alone, and healing is possible. I am passionate about helping clients deal with overwhelming life experiences and find healing. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered (and share a laugh or two!)
With Masters degree in Social Work from Widener University' I offer an integrative, compassionate approach combining emotional insight with practical tools for change.
I’m committed to lifelong growth, through continued education, supervision, and personal exploration which allows me to be fully present and effective in my work. This is a value I hold deeply, both in my own life and in the therapeutic relationships I build with clients. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to connect and see if we are a good fit!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
