I have been working as an LCSW for the past 20 years in the mental health/addiction field. I specialize in grief therapy and I am trained in EMDR. I have worked with individuals and families for over 20 years addressing addictions in the treatment arena on all levels of care.
I specialize in attachment trauma, mood disorders, addictions, PTSD, self-esteem/values work, and life transitions. I bring a deep understanding of how early relational experiences shape emotional well-being and offer compassionate, evidence-based interventions to support my clients. I work with individuals aged 16 and above. I am currently welcoming new clients for both in-person and virtual sessions, offering a supportive space for those seeking healing and growth.
Hello and welcome! I understand the decision to go to therapy can be overwhelming, yet here you are. I use an integrative approach that is tailored to you. I've worked with various areas that include anxiety, panic, trauma, stress management, existential crises, pregnancy loss, relationships, attachment, life transitions, divorce, and occupational stressors/performance. I have training in CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, DBT, and Gottman Couples Therapy that informs my approach.
As an ambassador of Christ's love and an advocate of Wellness, I live by my personal mission statement: ‘Live to Ignite, Not Entertain.’ With over a decade of education in School Counseling, Community Counseling, Psychology, and other certifications, my skills provide me the opportunity to help diverse populations and needs in working together through challenging moments.
Hi, I am Shawn Perrigo. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Master of Social Work (MSW), I uniquely blend clinical expertise with a deep understanding of human behavior. With a participatory and empowering approach, I foster an affirming, open-minded, and solution-oriented therapeutic space. By integrating mental health care with a holistic perspective, I guide individuals toward sustainable wellness, ensuring every step is collaborative and meaningful.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC016639) in the state of Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH22156) in the state of Florida. I've worked in a variety of settings, such as psychiatric hospitals, crisis stabilization units, community agencies and college campuses. My clients have a wide range in age, gender, sexual orientation, faith, education level, ethnicity, and cultural background. In my practice, I like to focus on life transitions, whether it's leaving a job, becoming a parent, or starting college.
Life is full of challenges, and at times it can feel overwhelming to navigate everything that is happening. You may feel stressed, worried, sad, or unsure of how to move forward. Perhaps you are experiencing grief, going through a divorce, facing substance use challenges, struggling in a stressful work environment, or dealing with relationship or communication difficulties. You may feel lost — unsure of what to do, who to talk to, or how to manage different situations.
That is where I come in.
Reaching out for support is the first step toward healing and positive change. It may be the first step toward moving forward, becoming more aware of your triggers and learning healthier ways to respond, or finding space to heal, forgive, and reconnect with gratitude and happiness.
I am a licensed clinical social worker based in south Florida. I received my bachelors degree in psychology, and a masters degree in social work. I have over 5 years of experience working with vulnerable populations. My expertise extends to young adults facing daily challenges including relationship issues, peer dynamics, and coping skills. I welcome a warm and non-judgmental environment.
