Licensed Clinical Social Worker
and Energy Healer

Shannon Giovingo

MSW, LCSW
Therapy for ages 21+

I work with individuals navigating challenging relationships with parents, siblings, friends, or coworkers - especially those impacted by personality disorders. I also support caregivers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and overachievers who are ready to step out of old roles, release anxiety, and reclaim balance in their lives. My goal is to guide you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and finding ease from reactivity, so you can heal from the inside out.

I blend approaches from social work, psychology, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and intuitive energy practices to tailor each session to your unique needs. Together, we explore the impacts of your experiences on your sense of self, repair relationships, and uncover the hidden pieces of yourself that carry the answers you seek. Sessions may include breathwork, movement, sound balancing, self-reflection, mindful disruptions to unhealthy patterns, and cultivating connection to intuition and inner harmony.

I aim to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, embrace unresolved emotions, and expand your capacity to heal. Every session is personalized, empowering you to integrate your own wisdom and support your self-healing and renewal.

A little about me:
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my cockapoo puppy, Harry, traveling with my husband, or sipping a hot cup of tea with friends. You’ll often find me exploring self-care practices like meditation, journaling, aromatherapy, labyrinth walks, and forest baths.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy that can help manage mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and emotional concerns, such as coping with grief or stress.

  • Somatic interventions are therapeutic techniques that focus on the body and its relationship with the mind and emotions. They aim to promote physical and psychological well-being by addressing bodily sensations, movement, and awareness.

“I help sensitive souls learn to break free from reactivity to external circumstances and repair their relationships by creating compassionate insight to their inner worlds. All healing and repair starts with you, and we work together from the inside out.”

— Shannon Giovingo
