Shannon Lasater, MA, LPC, Health Coach, neurotherapist, neurotherapy

Shannon provides Neurofeedback services for a variety of symptoms.  She specializes in providing neurofeedback for:

Anxiety: Anxiety can include mental symptoms such as racing thoughts, excessive worry, and feeling overwhelmed.  Anxiety can also present with physical symptoms such as a racing heart, tense muscles, startling easily, feeling shaky or jittery, nausea, cold sweats, and more.  Neurofeedback can help address both the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety.

PTSD/CPTSD:  As a result of a trauma or series of traumatic experiences, people may develop anxiety, panic attacks, depression, problems with concentrating, difficulty managing emotions, issues with sleep or eating, and more.  Neurofeedback can help re-regulate the nervous system so the "fight or flight" response isn't always stuck "on".  By helping the nervous system become more flexible, it is possible to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of symptoms. 

Insomnia: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early in the morning can get frustrating, and, over time, feel debilitating.  Not getting quality sleep can lead to issues with mood and concentration.  Neurofeedback in combination with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia can be very effective for getting better sleep and improving quality of life, (even on days when sleep wasn't as great the night before!).

Depression:  Feeling tired, numb, void of pleasure, and unmotivated can be exhausting and extraordinarily difficult to tolerate if these feelings last for a long time or happen frequently.  Neurofeedback can help boost mood and energy.  If you find that medication isn't working for you, has too many side effects, or you don't want to take medication for other reasons, neurofeedback can help activate the nervous system to give you more energy and satisfaction in life.

Shannon specializes in helping individuals and couples with a variety of concerns, including eating issues, body image concerns, family conflict, relationship challenges, parenting, step-parenting, and navigating the dynamics of blended families. She also works with clients facing marital issues, work stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep problems such as insomnia. Whether it’s self-esteem struggles, family dynamics, or managing everyday pressures, Shannon brings a compassionate, strengths-based approach to help clients find solutions and build resilience.

In addition to her professional training, Shannon brings a wealth of knowledge informed by her own personal life experiences. She has faced challenges with eating issues, body image, anxiety, and sleep problems. She also has personal experience with parenting, step-parenting, marriage, and other relationship challenges. Shannon understands firsthand the complexities these issues bring, and these experiences have shaped her approach to therapy, allowing her to offer both empathy and insight as she works alongside clients to create positive change in their lives.

Shannon deeply values authenticity and humor in the therapeutic process. She believes therapy should be a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves—where they can laugh together, reflect, and create meaningful change while also having fun along the way. She focuses on strengths and progress, helping clients recognize their inherent abilities and resilience so they can approach therapy with a sense of hope and optimism. Shannon aims for clients to look forward to their sessions, feeling uplifted and encouraged as they move toward their goals.

Shannon draws upon evidence-based therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques
