Two truths can exist at the same time. Just because you are blessed doesn't mean it isn't hard. Hold space for both.

YOU are worthy and enough.

Shine Integrative Therapy Is Growing

We’re looking for psychotherapists to join our team.

At Shine Integrative Therapy, we believe healing happens in relationship. Our team of therapists shares a common purpose: to walk alongside people on their healing journey with compassion, curiosity, faith, and hope.

We’re excited to announce that Shine has opened a new location, thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming environment for clients of all ages—including a dedicated play therapy room for working with children and families.

As our practice continues to grow, we’re looking for a psychotherapist who wants to do meaningful work within a supportive, collaborative team.

You may be a great fit for Shine if you:

• Value authentic connection and the therapeutic relationship
• Approach clients with compassion, curiosity, and respect
• Enjoy working collaboratively with other therapists
• Are passionate about helping people move toward healing and growth
• Appreciate an integrative approach to mental health and wellness
• Have an interest in working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, or families
• Want to grow both personally and professionally within a team

More than a job—a place to belong.

At Shine, we want our therapists to feel supported as they support others. We believe in creating a practice culture where clinicians can bring their whole, authentic selves to their work, develop their strengths, and learn alongside one another.

Our new space gives us room to grow our team and expand the ways we serve our community—including through our new play therapy room.

If you’re a therapist who wants to be part of a practice built around connection, purpose, healing, faith and hope, we’d love to meet you.

Come shine with us. ✨

We are beyond excited to have Jessica O'Flannagan join our team! She is now seeing clients! See her bio below.

I’m Jessica O’Flannagan, LMSW, a Certified Grief Professional with a post-graduate certificate in play therapy. I provide genuine, down-to-earth support for children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, family stress, life transitions, and the messy in-between moments that can feel overwhelming.

My approach is play-based, integrative, and trauma-informed, rooted in connection, safety, and trust—with room for creativity, honesty, humor, and real-life perspective along the way. I believe healing begins when we stop pretending everything is okay and allow ourselves the space to process, grow, and feel truly seen.

I have a special passion for working with individuals and families connected to foster care, adoption, complex family dynamics, and transitions from intensive outpatient, inpatient, or residential levels of care. As someone currently under supervision for clinical licensure, Registered Play Therapist certification, and addictions counseling certification, while also pursuing advanced training in ADHD and trauma, I bring a wide range of knowledge and perspectives into my work.

Most importantly, I tailor therapy to each individual child and family, meeting clients where they are and partnering with them to help reach their goals. Above all, I strive to create a space where clients feel respected, supported, and accepted exactly as they are.

When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and getting lost in a good book.
