About

With a passion for holistic mental health care and a deep connection to the outdoors, Shana Hisaw, M.S., LPC-S brings a unique blend of expertise and personal experience to her role as Owner and Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor at Island Counseling Clinic. Her approach to therapy is as multifaceted as the coastal landscape she calls home, incorporating both traditional and innovative techniques to help clients navigate life's challenges.

Shana's journey in mental health began with her academic pursuits, earning a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Angelo State University and a Bachelor's Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas in the Permian Basin. Licensed and practicing since 2007, she has honed her skills across various therapeutic modalities, allowing her to tailor her approach to each client's unique needs.

At the heart of Shana's practice is a diverse range of specialties, reflecting her commitment to comprehensive care. She expertly treats depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, OCD, and trauma in clients aged 17 and up. Her therapeutic toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety, exposure therapy for OCD, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma. In a unique fusion of therapy and aromatherapy, Shana incorporates essential oils into her sessions using the Aroma Freedom technique, offering clients a multisensory healing experience.

Beyond individual therapy, Shana's expertise extends to couples counseling, offering both premarital and marital counseling services. She also provides life coaching, helping clients address a variety of personal and professional goals. As the clinic's lead for psychological testing, Shana conducts assessments for both the clinic and local providers, ensuring comprehensive care for her community.

Shana's personal life deeply informs her professional approach. A mother of four, with two in college and two at home, she understands the complexities of family dynamics and life transitions. Her love for the outdoors and her decision to relocate to Corpus Christi in 2013 to be near the water speak to her belief in the healing power of nature and the importance of aligning one's environment with personal values.

As a Christian, Shana recognizes the potential role of spirituality in mental health, offering Christian counseling for those who desire it while maintaining a respectful, inclusive approach for all clients regardless of their beliefs. This holistic view extends to her philosophy on overall wellness, emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical health, mental well-being, and spiritual fulfillment.

At Island Counseling Clinic, Shana has created a vision of care that goes beyond traditional therapy. She encourages clients to view counseling as an essential part of overall health maintenance, as routine as visiting a doctor or dentist. Her approach encompasses not just talk therapy, but also advocates for physical wellness through exercise, healthy eating, good sleep habits, and nutritional supplements. Shana's practice truly embodies the concept of "coastal synergy," blending professional expertise with a deep understanding of the human need for connection—to oneself, to others, and to the natural world.
