Shannon Schureman

Mental Health Counselor

I love working with people navigating chronic illness and neurodivergence. These experiences can add layers to your life that often go unseen or misunderstood. While they don't tell your whole story, they do have a way of showing up in many aspects of your day-to-day. Maybe it looks like pulling away from the people you love because you're burnt out from trying to explain what you're going through. Or masking your way through the world until you crash when you finally get home. Or waiting months for a doctor's appointment only to leave feeling dismissed.
