Welcome

Life can be challenging – so much so in some cases that it impedes a person’s ability to grow, change, prosper, and live the life they dream of. However, therapy can be the helping hand you need to push through the roadblocks and get on a journey toward healing and success.

Shannon Rapalo Medina, MSW LICSW, began Your Story Matters Counseling in Minnesota in 2022 with the belief that every individual can enact their personal abilities to live a life they love and that high-quality and unique therapy can help them overcome blocks such as personality disorders, abuse, grief and loss, sexually maladaptive behaviors, trauma, work and career issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and difficulty with daily challenges.

Working with Shannon Rapalo Medina through Your Story Matters Counseling means that Minnesota residents receive personalized care at every session, in addition to having a safe, inviting space to truly open up and dig into the core of any issues they face. Some of the various techniques and services provided include but are not limited to couples counseling, family counseling, cognitive behavior therapy or CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care. Your specific needs are factored into every step of your therapy process so that your journey can be tailored to you.

Life might throw you curve balls and put up roadblocks so high that you can’t imagine overcoming them, but you can achieve your goals. If you are seeking hope, fulfillment in life, and to feel complete, Shannon Rapalo Medina is eager to work with you. Reach out to Your Story Matters Counseling today to begin your journey to healing, insight, and inner peace, and to overcome unresolved challenges. In-person therapy sessions are available in Minneapolis and online throughout Minnesota.
