Shannon Madden, LPC

Shannon Madden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years in mental health work. She trained at the University of Phoenix and Northern Arizona University and has spent decades responding to crisis and helping people manage life changes. Shannon draws on her long experience in emergency settings and organizational roles to offer steady, practical support.

Her approach is down-to-earth and interactive. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practical exercises to shift behavior. Shannon explains brain science in clear language so clients can see why changes happen. She uses gentle humor early on to ease tension and build rapport.

Shannon has worked in crisis counseling for fire and emergency departments and in hospital emergency rooms. She has also held leadership roles supporting service members and overseeing intake for a behavioral health hospital. That background shapes her focus on coping with trauma, stress, and major life transitions.

People come to her for help with anxiety, depression, grief, sleep struggles, anger, and stress related to caregiving or career changes. She also addresses longer standing concerns like family of origin issues, codependency, and chronic illness adjustment. Sessions aim to leave people with clear ideas they can use between meetings.
