About

Hello! My name is Shana Cronican and I completed a Masters in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, a Masters in Social Work with an independent license credential (LISW). With over twenty years of experience, advocacy, education and direct service; my adult life is dedicated to improving the lives of survivors and individuals whom seek guidance and help in order to strengthen their lives, relationships and purpose. I am a tireless advocate for women and girls and other individuals who have experienced violence and/or trauma with expertise in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety and Depressive Disorders, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Childhood Sexual Abuse, LGBTQ and emotional health concerns related to trauma and adversity. I use a number of evidence based models including elements of trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing, mindfulness, physical and emotional holistic wellness. In addition, I recognize the effects of secondary trauma on individuals with partners experiencing trauma, the effects of trauma on community and/or family members and loved ones, social workers, first responders, teachers and any person working directly with traumatic experiences. Reaching out for assistance requires strength and bravery. I'm here to help and guide you on your self directed journey of emotional and physical well being and healing.
