Shannon Knight

I have been trained in the field of clinical mental health counseling having earned the degree of Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling. I am licensed in the State of Washington to practice under credential number MC61262511. I have experience working with adults, teens, adolescents, and children in individual, family, and group counseling settings.

I utilize an eclectic approach that draws from several schools of psychotherapy, combining methods proven to be effective through clinical research to achieve rapid and lasting outcomes for clients. Therapy often incorporates concepts from Cognitive, Behavioral, Psychoanalysis, and Rational Emotive theories. Techniques used in counseling are based on effective, peer-reviewed psychological research. While these methods are powerful, they sometimes require clients to address challenging thoughts and expose themselves to perceived discomfort. Additionally, homework is a required component of this form of therapy. Because this form of therapy is only effective using these elements, clients seeking therapy that does not incorporate them will find a better match with a different type of therapy. A Christian, I am also able to incorporate theological principles, Scripture, meditations/reflections, and prayer for clients seeking integrative treatment.
