Private Sessions

Private sessions are an experiential multidisciplinary approach steeped in the research and anchored in your desire for something different. Turn towards what you have forgotten. Better understand the difficult and painful places in your life. Learn to create a new narrative in your life for more relief, ease, kindness, clarity and confidence.

At the NeuroImaginal Institute, Dr. Shannon Simonelli works with her clients to navigate every-day challenges and scary, big life patterns in non-threatening, creative ways. Be supported in a safe container to turn towards and recreate things that hold you hostage to the past. Learn to trust yourself, see things more clearly and make more life affirming choices. Dr. Shannon’s clients learn to understand the heartbreaks of their past to cultivate more real confidence, meet their life with more internal peace, mastery and aliveness. This work is interdisciplinary, soul centered, image and body based.

Dr. Shannon’s clients may be accomplished, yet often feel the cultural pressure of perfectionism, feeling not-good-enough or second guessing themselves. They may have physical or emotional pain and a big stress over load. They may feel restless, quietly lost or that life is not what they hoped it would be. Their deeper, most personal questions are: Do I have what it takes to succeed? Can I really be happy? Will I ever find the right work or partner? Is there more to life and how am I missing it?

As a master clinician of her unique integrative approach, Dr. Shannon understands how painful and destructive our internalized past can be. She also knows how freeing, spacious and full of choice life can become with inner work. Growing up with her own family mental health issues, learning disability, depression & anxiety, she has traveled the path of personal healing. Her education and training have given her experience in acute clinical care, addiction recovery & private practice to support real, embodied change with her clients.  Her mission is to guide clients home to who they really are & to what matters most to them so they can live free, connected & fully alive.

Clients Say

Thank you so much! My daughter said something very powerful today about your session. She said (paraphrasing) that it “put her in touch with her pain.” She was very stimulated in the most positive way by this first session. Onward!

I have gotten more benefit out of our first few sessions than I have with other therapists after many more visits.

We are so grateful for Shannon’s work with our Daughter, who greatly respects her. We feel the Art Therapy with Shannon is deepening our daughter’s awareness, expression and aiding in her progress with her overall therapy.
