Counselor & Coach
Shuree Waggoner, M.Ed, LMHC
Professional Experience:
I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling from Seattle University with a focus on Education. I completed my internship at a local Jr. High School and upon completion, became a Certified Educational Staff Associate. I have worked as a Contract Therapist, Advocate, and Group Facilitator at various social service agencies including DSHS, YWCA and Eastside Domestic Violence Program. In addition to my private practice, I have worked with individuals and families at Overlake Hospital Behavioral Health Organization.
Personal Note
I also bring many personal experiences which I think enhance my practice. My own life journey has led me down many challenging paths of transition. I can relate to the pain of divorce and lost love. I know the challenge of being a teenager and the stress of single motherhood. I have experienced a tragic event and understand the sorrow of losing a loved one. My health has been jeopardized by chronic illness and at times my faith seriously questioned. I've chosen bad jobs and wrong relationships. I believe my background helps me better understand your pain, and my knowledge as a Therapist can help equip you with the tools to move forward.
