When I was first paired with Shawn Rodgers I was lost. He listened attentively to me, helped me understand and appreciate my own value, gave me tools to help me overcome some of the challenges I was facing, and encouraged me to be the best I could be. He even used guided meditation to help me find peace when I needed it. I internalized our discussions and really focussed on what I needed to do to elevate myself from the rut that I was in, and with his help I did! Today I can say that I've achieved my therapy goals, thanks to him, though he'd disagree and say that I did the work, and I'm in a far better place. I'm more confident, I'm more relaxed, I'm able to focus on and care for myself now, I am more optimistic and excited about life, and I know how to draw boundaries and stand up for myself. Shawn Rodgers really helped me when I needed it and I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to him and to Better Help! Amazing job Shawn! Thank you!

The decision to enter into therapy is often a difficult one and I feel it is important to recognize and appreciate the courage with which people decide to allow a therapist into their lives, trusting that person with intimate details of their lives. My goal is to respect the trust that has been given me by my clients and to help them find the inspiration and skills to overcome the difficulties that brought them to me.
We all have strengths, things we are good at, and I view my job as to help my clients identify what their strength are so that they can then use those strengths to overcome the problems bringing them in to treatment. In my experience many clients have forgotten their talents, their strengths and their values; I want to help them remember the resources available to them, and help them find solutions in their life that are based on their values, anchored in their strengths and aimed at their goal. My job is not to impose my beliefs on you but to help you remember and refine your own so that you find yourself in a live that is satisfying and rewarding to you.
I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, stuck in poor relationships and struggling with sexual dysfunctions, particularly unwanted sexual attractions, interests and behaviors. I do so using a mix of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and reality therapy approaches designed to help my clients identify how their thoughts and feelings influence their behavior, help them feel valued and respected and to craft solutions accurately targeted at the problems in their lives.
My work is to create a safe, caring space in which you feel secure enough to give voice to the issues troubling you without fear of being judged or criticized.
I have been a therapist for twelve years. Currently I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maine though I have previously practiced in both Oregon and Washington.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very down to earth and caring, easy to talk to.
Shawn has been great for me, he listens understands and allows me to work through the issue at the time.
Shawn is an excellent listener and incredibly insightful along with patient with his clients.
Shawn is very easy to talk to, and helps me stay focused on the important things. He also helps me deal with difficult situations in a way that reduces my panic and anxiety and allows me to see the different options that are available to me. He is very respectful and very supportive.
Shawn was truly there to listen to ME, I felt he heard my concerns and provided good feedback.. Would strongly recommend him to anyone going through hard times… :-))
Shawn has been very helpful for me in digging deeper into topics that are difficult for me to talk about. He’s provided action steps and a pathway to better understanding
Shawn has been great, I had some dark times over the past week, and I looked forward to meeting with him to get things out and get his feedback. Shawn listens to what I'm saying and in my past session, asked me a question that put some of my issues in perspective. I highly recommend Shawn
He listens very well and picks up on small details that I often don’t notice. He challenges me when I need it and supports me. He has a way of (more accurately) offering new wording in my thought processes that changes my perspective on situations.
Shawn is a fantastic therapist! He helped me by giving me tools to help me cope with my triggers!
