Individual and Couples Counseling
Professional mental health counseling - In-person in Canal Fulton and telehealth - anywhere in Ohio
Why does it feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel off inside?
You’ve tried to push through the anxiety, numb the feelings, or keep the peace- but it’s still not working. Let’s change that.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.
You’ve just been living in survival mode for too long- overthinking, people-pleasing, or shutting down to avoid conflict.
These patterns might have helped you cope before. But now they’re keeping you stuck
Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship tension aren't random- they’re responses your mind and body have learned over time.
In therapy, we’ll uncover what’s driving these cycles and help you respond differently - without shame, blame, or quick fixes
Hi, I’m Shawn Pedani, LISW-S, a licensed mental health therapist offering in-person counseling in Canal Fulton, and virtually anywerhe in Ohio. I also serve nearby areas including Jackson Township, Massillon, Akron, North Canton, and greater Stark and Summit Counties.
Most clients I see have tried everything-self-help, journaling, even past therapy-but still feel stuck in overthinking and emotional exhaustion. That’s because anxiety and emotional reactivity aren’t just ‘mindset’ problems-they’re nervous system patterns. The good news? They’re changeable.
You don’t need more ‘coping tools.’ You need a roadmap that actually helps you understand why you feel this way-and what to do when emotions hijack your day.
Ready to get started? Let’s talk for 15 minutes to see if we're a good fit - or to get started - either in-person or via telehealth from anywhere you are in Ohio.
A Personal Connection
I grew up in Canal Fulton—back when IGA, Herbie’s Lawson’s & a public swimming pool were all still around! I even sold my childhood toys to help start up Toys Time Forgot. I spent summers playing baseball in the park and grabbing ice cream from Oser’s or pizza from Your Pizza Shop. That part hasn’t changed- Canal Fulton is still the place for good ice cream and a solid slice.
This town shaped me. Now, as a therapist with over 20 years of experience, I work with adults here who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in their relationships. I offer in-person counseling right here in Canal Fulton, and telehealth across Ohio. My goal is simple: to make sure you feel heard, understood, and supported—right here in the place we both call home.
