Shantel Horne (she/her) is currently working towards her Master's degree in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS) with an emphasis in trauma. She aims to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space and to fill service seeking gaps through holistic, trauma-informed care. Shantel strives to create a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy and collaboration where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable exploring life's challenges and processing emotions. She hopes to empower clients of all backgrounds and cultures to overcome their past and become the best version of themselves in the present. Through a blend of cognitive-behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and strengths-based approaches, Shantel aims to foster a collaborative relationship to help clients of all ages build resilience, feel more connected with themselves and others, and meet their goals.
