Hi, I’m Don Shawler, MA, LCPC. I am excited to be returning to Bellosa Counseling, LLC after a three-year absence. I am re-joining Bellosa as a staff psychotherapist and Neurofeedback clinician. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, Bipolar spectrum disorders and a variety of other issues. Through the use of insight oriented and supportive therapy I help my clients achieve their highest potential. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 20 years since graduating from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology/Chicago in 2020. I have a strong interest in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach to therapy is wholistic as I focus on physical and social issues affecting your mental health.

You may be asking; “what is Neurofeedback?” Neurofeedback is an approach to healing that involves using EEG brain mapping to identify brain-wave dysregulation that may be contributing to problems you may be experiencing with depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, chronic pain, problems focusing as well as many other issues. Neurofeedback is a drug free, pain free approach to improving function by training the brain to regulate itself. As this training continues, the changes in brainwaves become permanent through neuroplasticity (which is how we learn to ride a bicycle or play a piece of music), which then decreases or eliminates the need for costly medications. Neurofeedback has been extensively at Harvard, UCLA, Ohio State University and other prestigious institutions. It is completely safe and noninvasive.

I look forward to working with you and am thrilled to help you with any issues you may have.
