Shannon Toalson (She/Her) is a Licensed Master's Level Psychologist in the state of Kansas. She graduated with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Washburn University and developed a passion for DBT during her graduate internship with The DBT Center of Lawrence. Since joining the practice as a licensed therapist in 2022, Shannon has worked with adults and adolescents to help them build lives worth living using the DBT strategies and skills. She has experience across areas of the eclectic background of DBT and balances cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and mindfulness based approaches to deliver comprehensive DBT alongside her team members.

Shannon appreciates the compassionate practice of DBT and the ability to build healing relationships based in acceptance and trust with those she works with. Shannon loves to use the DBT skill "Check The Facts" because it helps her let go of worry and stress that is not justified, and only validate what is valid! In her free time, Shannon loves to cuddle with her cat, Dora, and enjoys playing card games, listening to audiobooks, solving puzzles, creating art, and celebrating the little things in life.
