Hello, my name is Shawn Trontel. While I work with individuals, I am considered a family specialist. I am an expert in counseling couples, both individually and as a pair. One of my goals as a marriage therapist is to help people experience improved communication and increased closeness. Healthy relationships help us maintain emotional, mental, and physical health. When we are struggling in our close relationships, the stress impacts all avenues of our lives, and our well-being is compromised.
In addition to couples work, I work directly with families seeking help navigating challenging parenting struggles, such as oppositional behavior or severe anxiety in their child. Using a child-focused approach, as a team we identify what aspects of the family system can be altered to improve functioning of the entire family unit.
