welcome!

Hello!

I’m Shannon, the founder of Rise Embodied. I’m a Mind-Body Psychotherapist and somatic/movement practitioner in Jonestown, Texas (just northwest of Austin). It’s my privilege to partner with you on your journey to healing and wholeness. I will meet you where you are, with a collaborative approach, using effective, trauma-informed methods that focus on the root cause.

I approach healing holistically, and integrate multiple modalities including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, mindfulness/embodiment practices, and brain/nervous system-based therapies in my individual sessions. I also offer more intensive, experiential healing experiences via workshop retreats and classes for those who wish to go deeper.

I strongly support the belief that mental health should be validated and treated the same as any other type of health/medical issue, with no bias toward self-blame or insufficiency. Mental health is an integral part of wellness - it impacts our physical wellness and vice versa - it’s all connected. Wholeness is achieved by allowing space for the fullness of our human experience - pleasant and not so pleasant - and to heal we cannot feel one without the other. But the fruits of our labor are freedom and peace. Or, neurobiologically speaking - safety and self-regulation. From surviving to RISING.
