Teletherapy
Shan’tel graduated from Utah State University with a Master’s in Social Work. She has a variety of counseling experience including working with hospice patients, individuals who have experienced grief and loss, NOJOS clients, facilitating Dialectical Behavior Therapy groups for teens, and helping clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression.
Shan’tel approaches therapy from a holistic perspective, utilizing several evidence-based modalities in her practice such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. She aims to help clients feel more empowered, resilient, and compassionate towards themselves.
Shan’tel enjoys working with tweens, teens, young adults, and adults. She is particularly passionate about helping individuals better cope with their anxiety. Shan’tel strives to be a compassionate and caring therapist, and she is a firm believer that “today is a beautiful day to do hard things!” (Quote from Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT).
In her free time, Shan’tel loves to read fun books, spend time in the mountains, play music, and hang out with her family.
