Shawn Marshall, MA, LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 30 years of experience working with children, teens, and families. He earned his Master’s Degree from Lewis & Clark College and has worked in a variety of settings, including residential treatment, community mental health, school consultation, and clinical supervision of interns. He currently serves as the Director of Operations and Facilities.

In his counseling practice, Shawn specializes in helping preteens and adolescents navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, anger, attention and academic difficulties, oppositional behaviors, and the impact of social media and technology.

Shawn’s approach integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies with family systems principles. He works to help clients gain a clearer understanding of the challenges they’re experiencing so they can better recognize patterns and apply effective skills to manage emotions, behavior, and stress. His goal is to increase self-awareness and promote long-term growth through practical, goal-oriented strategies.

Shawn collaborates closely with parents to help them adjust their approach and better support their teen’s independence and emotional development. He also works in coordination with medical providers and, when appropriate, partners with schools to ensure consistency and progress across settings.

In addition to his clinical work, Shawn has presented on topics related to youth and parenting, including The Impact of Electronics on the Teen Brain and Parenting in Today’s Modern World.
