William "Shane" Givens

From a young age, Shane was fascinated with the human condition, a curiosity that eventually led to a career in the United States Army as a Psychological Operations Specialist with the 82nd Airborne Division. After completing military service, Shane chose to give back to the country by providing much-needed support to veterans and others facing emotional and psychological challenges.

Drawing on both life experience and formal education, Shane offers comfort, understanding, and expertise across a variety of areas. Known for challenging clients to become the best version of themselves, he fosters self-exploration in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. This chapter of his career is dedicated to helping individuals who have experienced trauma, depression, substance abuse, grief, or other mental health conditions.

His therapeutic foundation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with additional integration of Trauma-Focused CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, EMDR and Behavioral Therapy. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated alongside these modalities to enhance the healing process.

Outside of work, Shane enjoys riding motorcycles through the mountains, playing baseball and softball, coaching fastpitch softball, and traveling. He also finds joy in listening to music and watching his children play sports.
