Meet Shannon Thornton
M.A. LPC, ADHD-CCSP, Psychotherapist, Parent Educator, and Speaker
I know how difficult it is to struggle with feeling out of control of your life and feeling like you need someone to help you.
I care about my clients and work hard to build trusting relationships where I actively listen, connect with my clients with empathy and foster a comfortable and non-judgemental environment. My goal is to help my clients identify ways to live their best lives through catharsis and behavioral change to bring balance to their whole selves, mind, body, and spirit.
I have personal experience parenting two strong willed children who both have ADHD.
I’ve dealt with every tantrum, friendship drama, meltdown, bad choice, lack of caring for an education, risk taking, ruminating thoughts, paranoia, mood shift, lost backpack, keys or homework than you could even imagine. I understand the marital strife, social isolation from friends whose kids didn’t experience these problems, shame, and sense of hopelessness clients are feeling.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and a Certified Clinical Services Provider through the ADHD Certification Institute. I am also a Certified Mental Health Integrative Services Provider. I offer talk therapy and psychoeducation to teens and adults.
Change Your Thoughts, Change Your World
My theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This means that my foundational approach is that our thoughts create our feelings, and our feelings often determine how we behave. If we change our thoughts, we can change our world, and I help clients become aware of their distorted thoughts, and how believing those thoughts leads to feelings of depression, anxiety, and general malaise. I meet people where they are and help them heal and gain a healthy perspective on their life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chrysalis BTC is open for in-person sessions and telehealth virtual appointments. If you opt for in-office sessions, you and I agree to not meet if either has a fever over 100 degrees F, is coughing or sneezing, or has been exposed to the Co-Vid 19 virus in the past 14 days. Hand sanitizer is available in our office and we maintain safe distancing precautions of 6 feet and have no physical contact. We will take steps between appointments to minimize our exposure and will inform each other if either has been exposed since our last session. CBTC will sanitize all surfaces and use anti-viral/anti-bacterial aerosol to disinfect the office between clients.
I meet with children 13-17 and adults. I support individuals, parents and families.
Yes, Shannon is in network for UNITED HEALTH CARE.
Surprisingly, therapy with me is very affordable.
I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Call or email, and I will contact your insurance for you and let you know exactly what your coverage is before your appointment.
I offer a reduced rate for clients with other insurance carriers or who prefer not to file insurance.
Call or email me directly. I provide a free, 15-minute consultation. If you decide you would like to work with me, we will set up an appointment and I’ll send you an email to connect to my client portal. Here, you can submit the new client paperwork and communicate with me on a secure, HIPAA compliant platform. My office will file your insurance claim and payment will be collected at the time of service. All appointments are scheduled with me directly.
Appointments are scheduled for one hour: 50 minutes of talk time, and 10 minutes for scheduling and payment arrangement.
Most people like to meet weekly. Eventually, and at your discretion, sessions will taper off to once every other week to monthly check ups or eventual termination. The goal is to get you out of therapy and on your way to a more fulfilling life.
