Shawn Smyser, LPC, therapist at Transitions Counseling and Consulting in Goodyear, Arizona

Shawn Smyser,

LPC
Therapist
Age groups served: Ages 6 and older
Appointments: In Office and Telehealth in Arizona

I work with clients from age 8 through early-career adults and specialize in assessing and treating safety concerns, panic attacks, PTSD, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and challenges related to unhealthy relationships, boundaries, or communication. I became a therapist because I’ve always been fascinated by how our childhood and past experiences shape our current thoughts, choices, and behaviors. Therapy felt like the natural next step in helping people understand those patterns and create meaningful change.

I believe the most important part of the client and counselor relationship is the connection we build together. Going to therapy can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a relationship rooted in trust, honesty, and clarity. I value setting clear expectations and boundaries, then working with you to identify your goals and the steps we can take together to reach them.
