Shannon Albers, Marketing Director

My name is Shannon, and I’m the Marketing Director at Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh, a well-established, woman-owned therapy practice online and in person. After spending over 15 years in the high-pressure corporate world, I found myself burned out and seeking a change. That’s when I decided to pivot into a role that aligned with my passion for mental health, taking on a part-time Social Media Coordinator position within the industry I truly care about.

From the moment I met our founder and CEO, Stephanie Wijkstrom, we connected. I was fortunate to join a fast-growing practice where I could leverage my extensive marketing experience to make an immediate impact. As the practice continued to thrive, I was able to transition into a full-time role as Marketing Director, which has allowed me to dive even deeper into our mission. I love collaborating to develop and launch new services that directly benefit the community. Whether it’s expanding our locations, adding psychiatry and psychological testing services, introducing wellness offerings, or building a state-of-the-art playroom, there’s always something exciting in the works as we continue to address the diverse mental health needs of our clients.

Additionally, I’m grateful for the opportunity to integrate my Yoga Teacher Training certification into my work, creating breathwork-focused videos that promote nervous system regulation and stress relief.
