Shania Richards
Associate Professional Counselor
I work with children, teens, and young adults who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed and struggling with finding effective coping skills to manage their emotions.
Bring all your “stuff” and we’ll unpack it together. We’ll role play scenarios you’re struggling with so you can go into them confidently. I’m here for you every step of your journey and honored to be able to watch you grow.
During our work together, you (or your child) will have a toolbox full of coping skills to get you through all of life’s challenges!

More than just my work:
“Be where your feet are.” - Scott O’Niel
I find joy in taking walks outside, having my favorite coffee, and immersing myself in a good book.
Outside of sessions, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, painting, doing puzzles, or going to the gym.
