Transform Your Life with Evidence-Based Therapy
Awareness is the first step toward change.
You don’t need to be fixed — you need to be understood
Hope and Healing with Shona McDermott Psychotherapy
Anxitey
Anxiety isn’t a stop sign; it’s a signal. When you stop running and start listening, it loses its power.” What you resist persists—what you face with curiosity begins to soften
Self-Esteem Building
Self-esteem rises when you stop auditioning for approval and start owning who you are.” Self-esteem isn’t built by proving your worth—it grows when you stop questioning it.”
Anger Management
Anger isn’t the problem—it’s the messenger pointing to a deeper hurt that needs care, not shame.” Anger doesn’t make you broken; it shows you where you were hurt.
Grief Counseling
There’s no timeline for grief—only permission to feel what love left behind. Grief isn’t something to get over—it’s something you learn to carry with love.
Trauma
Healing trauma isn’t about erasing the past, but teaching your body that the danger has passed.” Trauma isn’t what’s wrong with you—it’s what happened to you, and how your nervous system learned to survive.”
Life Transitions
Find support and guidance during challenging transitions such as divorce, career changes, and more. Life transitions feel unstable because you’re growing, not because you’re failing.
