Jillian Shumway, LMFT

About

It has become a passion of mine to help those who have endured trauma and abuse. Trauma is not limited to abuse and can develop in many ways which can be debilitating. My focus in treatment is to guide and assist with understanding, compassion and most importantly healing in order for you to get your life back and be free from the past. I treat those who are affected by sexual, physical, and emotional abuse/trauma. I also provide grief based counseling for individuals who lives and relationships have been impacted by trauma, grief, and/or loss.

My treatment style will involve mindfulness based approaches, breathing techniques, and relaxation skills along with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. I also find it useful to provide my clients with education on family cycles to gain insight regarding family patterns and how to set appropriate boundaries with those who can be toxic.

Thank you for visiting my profile and I wish you the best in your journey towards healing.
