Shauna Aningo, MS.Ed, NCC, LPC
My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my clients can begin to understand the feelings and change the behaviors that limit their life and create dissatisfaction with their personal and professional endeavors. I take a holistic approach to client wellness and seek to understand and encourage client growth in the areas of mind, body, and spirit (i.e., maintain their physical health, work life balance, culture, and religious/spiritual beliefs).My counseling philosophy is grounded in holistic counseling and existential therapy. My belief is that everyone encounters life transitions. My objective is to help my clients realize their strengths in a safe nonjudgmental environment. My professional background began in career & personal counseling at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale where I assisted community members, students, and alumni. As a career counselor, I sought to help people adjust to life changing events such as job loss and other life transitions. Through vocational testing I was able to open doors to new possibilities and a better understanding of self. As a personal counselor I worked with my clients to diffuse anger, manage PTSD, depression and life transitions. My experience in teaching include: Introduction to Psychology, Career Decision-Making, and New Student Seminar at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Other teaching experience included Personal, Social, character, and Study Skill development for Project Upward Bound. My background includes experience as a human resource supervisor for May Department Stores where I trained and recruited new and existing employees. My educational foundation is in the fields of psychology and counseling. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts inPsychology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and earned a Master of Science in Education in Community Counseling from Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
