Shannon C Terry, LCPC

Hi there!My name is Shannon C Terry, LCPC. LCPC is a fancy word for therapist, if you haven’t guessed by now. Growing up, I somehow became the one everyone on the playground shared their troubles with, and it didn’t stop there. Progressing into adulthood, I still found myself being the trusted confidant to those closest to me. Was it because I gave great advice or simply because I made people feel safe, either way, I realized (with the help of those around me) that I have a gift! What’s a gift unsharpened? Actually, I’m not sure BUT, I decided to go to school to develop the tools necessary to do “this” for a living.

 My journey began at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I studied Applied Psychology, followed by the pursuit of my master degree in Clinical Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My internship at Truman College allowed for me to gain experience working with people for diverse backgrounds (race, ethnicity, SES, genders and backgrounds). My first full-time job with Grand Prairie Services equipped me with everything I needed to handle a crisis situation efficiently and effectively. But that’s not all, working with the family unit quickly became incredibly rewarding. Having the opportunity to work for an insurance company later bought me back to my grassroots of working with people of all ages and backgrounds, as has joining a group practice.  To make a long story short, every experience I’ve had thus far has equipped me to work with you! Furthermore, my multitude of experiences has reinforced my decision to heal the world inwardly. 

 With passion for my work and a love for people, there isn’t a day the goes by where I question my decision to become a therapist.
