We live in a busy and often times frantic world. It can seem like we are moving 100 miles per hour trying to balance family, work and everyday life. At Balanced Counseling we’ll help you find your balance. Learn how to slow that busyness down but still be productive, set boundaries, take time for yourself, and separate the noise in your life to focus your energy on the important things.
Shawn Whiting has nearly a decade of experience in Community Counseling. During that time, he has worked with individuals, couples, families and groups of all ages. He has experience with the majority of mental health diagnoses but believes you don’t have to have a mental illness diagnosis to benefit from counseling.
Shawn takes a whole person, strengths based approach to counseling. He has specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and the Duluth Model for Domestic Violence Interventions.
