Cultural Understanding

Professional & cultural understanding

As an Aboriginal owned and operated practice, MAPS is in high demand due to the lack of Aboriginal psychologists available and the overwhelming demand for their services in both cities and communities.

Why engage Shannon?

As a Registered Psychologist and Aboriginal woman, Shannon understands.

In her own family and community, Shannon has worked through many personal and professional challenges and has built a professional career as a psychologist with the support of family and extended family and community support.

She knows from experience that it is possible to overcome challenges, and is passionate and motivated to support families and communities to develop their own solutions and community led initiatives.

Additionally, Shannon prides her role as a mother to her two adult sons as central to her professional career;  ” Raising two sons as a single mum taught me about selflessness and how to support and love unconditionally”.  ” Being a mother is a privilege, and I hope to inspire many other women to engage in careers that they are passionate about”.
