Shiona Shi Severson

With advanced training in Emotion Focused Therapy and Somatic and Attachment EMDR, along with therapeutic approaches rooted in attachment theory, I offer a person-centered treatment experience that recognizes each individual’s unique story. Together, we’ll create a space where your challenges are honored and your strengths are empowered, supporting you on every step of your journey. My practice is shaped not only by formal expertise, but also by real-world experience and a commitment to meeting you where you are. I believe that healing and growth happen through genuine connection, compassionate understanding, and practical wisdom. I use emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help focus on our emotions and how they influence our thoughts, actions, and relationships. Additionally if appropriate I offer EMDR therapy. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Our first session is used to get to know each other and to explain how therapy works within the EFT model. Expectations from both you, as the client, and me, as the therapist, are created and laid out. This is a common time to be nervous, but just know that if I am not the right fit for you, I will help you find someone who is. Specialties: Each client can expect to learn your attachment type and how that affects every aspect of your life. Then I help you get out of the cycle of emotional suppression, avoidance, and reactive patterns. This will typically help the struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationships, and addresses them in a way that helps you regain control of your life. Credentials & Experience: As an emotion focus therapist I view the world through an attachment based lens. When working with individuals, families, and couples I look at their social, mental, and physical experiences, for holistic healing and not just a band-aid for their current symptoms.
