Therapist Bio

Shannon Evers, MSW, LISW

Therapist & Practice Owner

Shannon is accepting new clients.

I started Seva Counseling on a foundation of personal and professional values emphasizing acceptance, non-judgment, compassion, and authenticity. I’ve been a helper in the mental health field for over 20 years and have experience supporting individuals, couples, and other therapists with a range of presenting issues.

I have specialized training and experience in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and insomnia. I am a member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and am experienced in the delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure techniques, including Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I).

My approach to therapy is evidence-based yet compassionate, flexible, and individualized. My guiding light as a clinician comes from CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and related modalities. If you’re seeking help to face uncertainty and address the crippling impact of rumination and doubt, I’m here to help.

Specialty areas: OCD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, bipolar disorder, sleep issues, and exposure treatments

I offer services in Iowa in person or virtually. Have questions or want to ensure we’re a good fit? Contact me for a free 15-minute phone or video consultation.

Shannon accepts Wellmark/Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and self-pay.

Shannon’s office is in the e5w location.
