Counseling in Boise, Idaho

My name is Jan Shaughnessy and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Boise, Idaho. I have been counseling the people of Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Star, Nampa, Caldwell and the Treasure Valley for over 20 years. My approach to counseling is sympathetic, and supportive, but also pragmatic. I am happy to work with anyone of any age, cultural background, or sexual orientation. I like to focus my patients on removing psychological and behavioral obstacles that can prevent you from reaching your goals and improving your relationships. I use a method of treatment called CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus my patients on removing psychological and behavioral obstacles.

Treatment

I am eclectic in the types of therapies I use depending on the person I am working with, and the issue/s presented before us. Meeting you where you are today will help guide us to what treatment modalities may work best for you while taking time to assess along the way what is helpful and what we can continue to build upon. I see counseling as a partnership and encourage healthy communication to help build a working relationship that will assist you to reach your highest potential.

At some point in time, almost every person will face a traumatic experience or difficult time in his or her life. The emotional and physical pain caused by these experiences can leave deep emotional scarring that may never heal without help. My job is to access your issues, gain a better understanding of your needs, and provide a solution to help you reach your goals, emotionally and physically. I can get you back on track! Whether you struggle with job frustration, relationship or family issues, addiction or self-esteem issues, I can provide you the help you need. To schedule an appointment, call 208-376-3677 or send me a message using the form on our site. I look forward to hearing from you.
