Meet Shalynn

Hi there! My name is Shalynn (she/her) and I am an Advanced Practice Social Worker. I have

experience working with adolescents, adults, and families with a range of support needs, including

anxiety, depression, life transitions and stressors, emotional regulation and trauma. I especially

enjoy working with caregivers and supporting prenatal and postpartum well-being.

I believe in being strengths based and the power of empathy. I use a trauma informed, person-

centered approach that pulls from a variety of models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),

somatic practices, mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. I

am a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and passionate about providing a safe place for

everyone. It is an honor to be able to partner and walk alongside folks in their journey.

I enjoy fall activities, listening to music, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. I

have two young children and identify as a white, cis woman. I received my Bachelor’s degree in

Psychology from Ripon College and my Master’s degree in Social Work From UW Madison.
