His use of traditional practices, interwoven with up-to-date empirically driven methods, results in an Existential therapeutic endeavor benefiting the client and those close to them.
Dr. Shawn Stanton is a licensed Psychotherapist who knows getting to the root of the issue is usually the best option. Though some clients are not yet equipped to deal with the emotions that go along with the root issue. Dr. Stanton uses research driven candid, direct, and genuine conversation to ease the client into a painless and successful treatment process that not only explores the root issue but also enhances the clients inherent sense of resilience. Additionally this candid, direct, and genuine process allows the client to enjoy a more 'real' treatment experience where unpleasant emotions are left at the door.

I have experience in Trauma Informed, Solution Focused, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Existential Therapy.
My passion lies in working with individuals, couples and families that are dealing with life's transitions or facing significant challenges or adjustments. My professional experience allows me to see things from an open and solution focused perspective. I believe the therapeutic process provides a great opportunity for the individual to get to know himself as well as the strengths and answers that lie within and this is what opens up the door to change and evolution. An open and safe therapeutic environment is paramount in my sessions to allow clients to connect and and explore the self without feeling judged.

Life can be difficult and challenging at times. You might be struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship problems, career issues, or simply looking to live a happier and more stress- free life. We often believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness, and that counseling can be an intimidating prospect. Taking that first step in finding help is scary, but you do not have to struggle alone. Even if you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, you can overcome the obstacles that hold you back from success and happiness. Challenges or crises can be opportunities for growth and change.

When looking for support, have you been told: “that’s life", “don’t worry you’ll get over it”, “just breathe & keep moving”, “you will figure it out”, or “not everyone will understand, so it is best you keep that to yourself”. Do you feel that you have private experiences you would like to safely process, but don’t have a non judgmental space to do so? Would you then say that you are looking to talk to someone who will listen and help you navigate your current experience? If the answer is yes, then this would be a good reason for us to talk.

You're tired of solving things at the surface level and are looking to go deeper and truly understand WHY you are the way that you are. You know your childhood has impacted who you are, but you're not entirely sure how to change the impact of it now. On the outside, you might appear accomplished and put together, but on the inside, you're full of anxiety, self-doubt, and a fear of failure. Sometimes you're afraid of disappointing the people in your life and you don't always feel like you're living for yourself. You're internally exhausted and feel like it's almost impossible for you to truly relax.

Traumatic situations can vary from unresolved grief/loss, witnessing/experiencing a violent incident or accident, physical and sexual abuse, to betrayal in relationships. These experiences leave "imprints" on the mind and body which can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, “numb,” avoiding situations/places, unwanted memories, nightmares and guilt.

Want to improve your sexual relationship? Your couples relationship? Your relationship with yourself? We have so little guidance in these areas.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in the field for over 20 years primarily doing psychotherapy with older teens and adults of all ages. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative journey that the therapist and client go on together. One that requires curiosity, self-exploration, attunement, and mutual regard. Choosing a therapist that feels like a good fit is critical to a good outcome so I typically begin by speaking to prospective clients on the phone allowing you to share what you are looking for while allowing you to ask any initial questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process.

Great artist say after a period of sadness comes, they create the most significant works of art. Life challenges such as change of job/ career transition, divorce can lead to a richer life with unforeseen opportunities for fulfillment. Loss is universal and can take many forms including the loss of a loved one. Loss is a difficult journey and often diminished by society. The time it takes to work through life challenges and change can be difficult without support. Self care and coping strategies during transitions can help you heal and lower stress for your current challenge, and give you life skills for all change.

Existential Therapists

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
