“After working with a therapist for many years, I found myself getting worse not better. Once I walked into Dr. Shannae’s office in 2001, I knew I found the place I needed to be. She was able to correctly diagnose me with depression, PTSD, and an eating disorder. Through hard work and many tears, I am now on the other side of this. Dr. Shannae literally saved my life. I am so grateful I walked into her office in 2001. Thank you so much Dr. Shannae.”

“As a younger woman, Shannae helped me understand and recover from the wounds caused by a childhood of abuse and neglect. Her expertise, compassion and professionalism, in combination with our previous relationship, made her the ideal person with which to work when my PTSD was reactivated upon the death of my son. Although trauma can derail us, I believe that with the right kind of help it doesn’t have the power to determine our future.”

Forensic Services Testimonials
“For the past 30+ years I have worked with clients suffering from substance use disorders and mental health issues who find themselves in the criminal justice system. I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with the best attorneys, forensic psychologists, and therapists in the western United States and Dr. Shannae Anderson is one of the best with whom I have had the privilege to work. I met Dr. Anderson and started collaborating with her in the 1990’s when she was the Clinical Director of the Steps Treatment Program. Over the years, I have worked with many exceedingly difficult clients with complex treatment issues and Dr. Anderson is the first person I call when I have clients who have complex trauma issues, PTSD, and substance abuse disorders. I have referred many clients to Dr. Anderson for therapy and treatment plans over the years. I have also referred a number of clients to Dr. Anderson for forensic evaluations. Dr. Anderson is an amazingly gifted psychologist, healer, and forensic evaluator. Everyone I have referred to Dr. Anderson has raved about her, as have their attorneys. Prosecutors by nature tend to be distrusting of mental health experts. As a result, honesty, integrity, and reputation are crucial for any defense expert working in the criminal justice system. Dr. Anderson has an excellent reputation for her skills. More importantly in a forensic setting, Dr. Anderson has an outstanding reputation with prosecutors and judges as a straight shooter, whose word and evaluation they can trust. I cannot recommend Dr. Anderson highly enough. She is truly an amazing woman who has helped many people.
