Shauna Booms, CADC | Counseling Intern | Remote Services in Michigan

Taking the first step toward help takes courage — and you don't have to take it alone. I believe that no matter where you are in your journey, there is always hope. Sometimes, all it takes is having the right person in your corner.

I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Master's-level counseling intern with a passion for walking alongside adults through some of life's most challenging seasons. I specialize in addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles — areas where I have had the privilege of supporting individuals in a variety of settings, including jails and homeless shelters. That experience has deepened my belief that healing is possible for everyone, regardless of circumstance or background.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw primarily from Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while weaving in additional tools and modalities as your unique needs call for them. There is no one-size-fits-all path to wellness, and I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

One of my deepest commitments is reducing the stigma around mental health. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness — it is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.

I currently offer remote counseling services throughout Michigan. If you are ready to take that next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I would be honored to connect with you.

Today is International Bereaved Mother’s Day—a day that honors mothers who carry the profound and often invisible grief of losing a child. ❤️

As a therapist, I want to gently acknowledge that grief in this form does not follow a timeline, nor does it ask for permission to show up. It can live alongside love, joy, numbness, anger, and longing—all within the same moment. There is no “right” way to grieve, and there is no expectation to make your pain more comfortable for others.

For those navigating this loss:
Your connection to your child remains.
Your grief is a reflection of love, not something to be minimized or moved past.
Your experience deserves space, compassion, and witnessing.

If today feels heavy, consider tending to yourself in small, meaningful ways—whether that is honoring your child’s memory, allowing emotions to surface without judgment, or choosing rest over expectation.

And for those supporting a bereaved mother: presence matters more than words. Listening without trying to fix, acknowledging without minimizing, and remembering alongside them can be deeply healing.

Today, we hold space—for the mothers, for the children, and for the enduring bond that grief cannot sever.🤍🩶

There’s a growing conversation in the mental health field around the connection between the heart, brain, and nervous system—and tools like HeartMath+ are part of that exploration.

From a clinical perspective, HeartMath+ focuses on building awareness of physiological states and strengthening self-regulation skills through heart rate variability (HRV) training. In simple terms, it helps individuals notice when their nervous system is dysregulated (stress, anxiety, overwhelm) and practice shifting into a more balanced state.

What I appreciate about this approach is that it offers:
• Real-time feedback on how your body is responding to stress
• Practical techniques to support emotional regulation
• A bridge between cognitive awareness and physiological experience

For many individuals, especially those navigating anxiety, trauma responses, or chronic stress, insight alone isn’t always enough. The body often needs to be part of the healing process. Tools like this can complement therapies such as EMDR, CBT, and somatic approaches by reinforcing regulation skills outside of session.

That said, it’s not a replacement for therapy—it’s a support. The most meaningful change tends to happen when tools, insight, and relational work are integrated together.

If you’ve used HeartMath+ or other biofeedback tools, I’d be curious to hear about your experience.

Spring has a way of gently inviting change.🌷

In therapy, this season often mirrors what we hope to cultivate internally—renewal, growth, and a softening toward ourselves. Just as the ground begins to thaw, many people notice long-held emotions starting to surface. This isn’t a setback; it’s part of the process.🌷

🌼Growth rarely looks like a dramatic transformation. More often, it’s subtle:
• Choosing rest without guilt
• Noticing your thoughts without immediately judging them
• Setting a boundary where there wasn’t one before
• Allowing yourself to feel something you once avoided

Spring reminds us that healing doesn’t require urgency. It unfolds in its own time, with care and consistency.

If this season is bringing things up for you, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Support can make space for both the discomfort and the growth that often come together.

What feels ready to shift or grow for you this spring?

There are no words that can fully hold the weight of losing a child.

As a therapist, I often sit with grief in its many forms—but this kind of loss is different. It is profound, disorienting, and deeply unfair. It disrupts the natural order of life, leaving behind a silence that feels impossible to make sense of.

If you are a parent carrying this grief, please know this: there is no “right” way to mourn your child. There is no timeline to follow, no expectation you need to meet. Your love did not end—it simply has nowhere to go in the way it once did. And that kind of love can feel both beautiful and unbearable at the same time.

Grief may come in waves—sometimes gentle, sometimes overwhelming. You may find yourself revisiting memories, questioning, longing, or simply trying to get through each moment. All of it is valid. All of it matters.

You are not meant to carry this alone.

If you are supporting someone through this kind of loss, the most meaningful thing you can offer is your presence. Not solutions. Not explanations. Just a steady, compassionate willingness to sit beside them in their pain.

To the parents who wake up each day and continue forward while holding an unimaginable loss—you are seen. Your child matters. Your grief matters. And your love will always endure.

Disappointment is a quiet kind of grief.

It often shows up when expectations, hopes, or deeply held needs don’t align with reality. And while it may seem “less significant” than other emotions, it can carry a profound weight—especially when it’s layered over time.

Many people move quickly to minimize disappointment or push it aside:
“I shouldn’t feel this way.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
“I just need to get over it.”

But disappointment deserves space.

It can signal that something mattered to you.
That you were hopeful.
That you were willing to invest emotionally.

Rather than rushing past it, consider gently asking:
• What was I hoping for?
• What does this say about what I value?
• What might I need now?

Disappointment doesn’t mean you were wrong to hope.
It means you’re human.

And sometimes, tending to that feeling with compassion—rather than judgment—is where healing begins.

🍀Today, as many celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it can be helpful to pause and check in with yourself.🍀

Holidays that center around alcohol can bring up a wide range of emotions—connection for some, and discomfort, pressure, or even pain for others. If you find yourself feeling triggered, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with the expectations around you, that experience is valid.

Consider what support looks like for you today:
• Setting boundaries around alcohol or social situations
• Choosing connection that feels safe and genuine
• Taking breaks to regulate your nervous system
• Reminding yourself that you are allowed to opt out

You don’t have to participate in anything that doesn’t feel supportive of your well-being.

Celebrate in a way that honors your needs—whether that’s being with others, or giving yourself permission for quiet, rest, and space.

Your mental health matters every day, including today.🍀
