Strong roots nurture resilience, growth, and lifelong well-being—especially in children. 

When we support kids in developing these roots early, we lay the foundation for emotional strength and healthy development that lasts a lifetime.

Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding journeys, but it can also be incredibly challenging. Add the demands of daily life, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Are you finding it difficult to manage your child’s behavior? Do tantrums, hitting, or struggles with friends or teachers at school leave you feeling unsure of what to do next?

These behaviors happen for many reasons, and it’s important to know you’re not alone. Even more importantly, you don’t have to face this on your own.

My focus is on child therapy, helping children and families understand the “why” behind behaviors and work toward emotional growth and healing. Whether your child is struggling with big emotions.

Let’s work together to navigate this challenging time and find a path forward.

Call or email today for a free consultation—I would be honored to support you and your family through counseling that meets your child’s unique needs.

Child Therapy Services

Hello, I’m Shawna Ewing, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate working under supervision. I specialize in working with children and teens, ages 2 through 18, and I’m passionate about helping families navigate life’s challenges with confidence and care.

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a special education teacher, and I bring that experience into my counseling practice every day. I understand the complexities parents face when their child is struggling—whether emotionally, behaviorally, or developmentally. My background allows me to support children with a wide range of needs, and to partner with parents in a way that feels both supportive and empowering.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing space where your child can grow, and where you, as a parent, feel heard and supported.

I provide individualized support for both children and their parents, because I believe lasting change happens when we work together as a team.

If you’re wondering whether counseling might help your child or family, I’d love to talk. Please call or email me to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and learning how I can help.

Meet Lulu!

Therapy dogs can provide comfort and emotional support during counseling sessions, helping to reduce anxiety and create a safe environment for clients. Their calming presence encourages openness and fosters trust, making it easier for individuals to express their feelings and work through challenges. Additionally, the interaction with a therapy dog can promote mindfulness and grounding, enhancing the overall therapeutic experience.

Meet Lulu, my lovable 4-year-old Labradoodle and certified therapy dog. With her soft, curly coat and warm, friendly demeanor, she brings a sense of comfort and joy to our therapy sessions. Lulu has been trained to provide emotional support and companionship, making her an invaluable part of the healing process.

More about me…

I started my journey in working with children over 13 years ago. I spent time in special education and followed it as a school counselor and now as a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate. Each step of my journey was led by my passion for working with children and their families. Working closely with children and adolescents and their families allowed me to see the unique challenges they face, as well as the incredible strengths they possess.

Throughout my experience, I have witnessed the transformative power of support and understanding. Children often carry burdens that may not be visible at first glance, and my role has been to create a safe space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. Collaborating with families has enabled me to help them develop strategies and tools to foster resilience and growth in their children.

Each interaction helps both the child and me grow. I am committed to learning and improving to better support my clients. By concentrating on their unique needs and experiences, I aim to empower children and teenagers to face their challenges with confidence.

My journey continues to inspire me, and I am committed to being an advocate for the well-being of children and their families, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and equipped to thrive.
