Shannon Paton

She has been in the mental health and helping field for over seven years, working with children, youth, young adults, families, and adults. She believes that people deserve a place to feel seen, heard, and supported. In her sessions, she strives to provide a non-judgmental and open space where you can express yourself and explore your inner world in order to create change together.

She can help you address concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD (adult and youth), parenting, interpersonal and relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma, and career exploration. She values ongoing learning and has received further training that allows her to use an approach tailored to you, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Psychedelic Integration, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

In her spare time, she finds balance for herself by getting out into nature, practicing yoga, playing soccer and volleyball, snowboarding, and playing with and training her Border Collie.

Shannon offers family counselling, children’s counselling, and individual counselling, with particular experience supporting clients through emotional regulation and high sensitivity.

Shannon sees clients in person at our Vancouver, West Broadway/Birch location, as well as through virtual care for clients anywhere in BC.
