About Shaun

 Shaun Phoenix, MS, LCPC,  has been a licensed clinical professional counselor for more than  twenty years.  She comes to her knowledge both through traditional  models, including graduate study in mental health counseling and  professional licensure in Montana, as well as the rich continuing  education found in "the Cathedral of the Forest."  She has been a  shamanic healing practitioner for more than twenty years as well.  

With  a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and her clinical  professional counselor's license, Shaun brings training, skills,  professionalism and ethics to all her work.  She is a preferred provider  for many health insurance programs.

Born in England and raised in a suburb of Washington, DC, Shaun has always embraced life's journey in its diversity of forms.  The Gallatin Valley has been her home most of her adult life.  In addition to her healing practice, she is a musician, artist, dancer, writer, social justice activist, wife, and parent of an adult daughter.

 Her philosophy of healing and wellness is based in the spiritual wisdom that we all arrive here whole, perfect, merged with the divine truth of who we are.  Through exposure to the toxicity and woundedness of modern culture, that sense of wholeness is slowly or abruptly submerged.  Our work, our life task, is therefore not to heal anything that's broken, but to remember the truth of who we are.  We dis-cover this through regular spiritual practice, through deep listening and engagement with our bodies, and through noticing and trusting the zing of truth that comes in moments of transcendence.
