Intro

I'm so glad you are reaching out for support and help!  I'm Dr. Shannon Gordon, a licensed therapist in Georgia since 1991, and I have special skills and training to help people recover from traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression or substance use challenges.  I would be truly honored to serve you.  I'm a warm and caring person who listens really well.  I have a toolbox of research-proven skills that can help you move more freely and lightly into the best future you want.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

To me, each person as beautifully unique, and I have never been one to see disability.  Rather, I have always seen uniquenesses as different abilities. It makes my heart sing to give people - especially those who can often be misunderstood - space to be truly heard and deeply valued. I work with clients to identify, celebrate and build on their strengths.  Together, we learn and practice skills that help people negotiate life with greater ease and success.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach is to seek first to truly understand each person's perspective, experiences, feelings and goals.  Then, we work together - at the pace that works for each person - to build on strengths to make life better between appointments.
