Hi! I'm Shaun Hardie, LMHC
I help people learn to unhook from unhelpful thoughts, get unstuck, and to learn to live more fully in the here-and-now.
​
Too often, we get so caught up struggling with our own minds that we forget to actually live our lives. I’m here to help you show up for the people and things that mean the most to you.
​
Here’s a little about my personal and professional background to give you a sense of how I can help . . .
My Story...
I’ve always been drawn to helping people navigate life’s challenges. It’s not just about offering support but also about exploring the deeper "why" behind our struggles—what drives our actions, thoughts, and feelings. When we uncover these patterns, we can start to make real, lasting changes, choosing a life aligned with what truly matters.
​
For over a decade, I’ve walked alongside people in their most difficult moments—whether as a counselor, a minister, or simply someone who understands what it feels like to be stuck. I know what it’s like to wrestle with anxiety, stress, and the heaviness of life. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and unsure of the way forward. Those experiences shaped me into the person and professional I am today.
​
In my work, I’m deeply rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an approach that’s as much about embracing life’s messiness as it is about building something meaningful from it. I’ve seen firsthand how learning to accept what’s out of your control—and taking committed, values-driven action—can transform lives. It’s not about fixing yourself; it’s about finding yourself and moving forward with courage and purpose.
​
Outside of work, my family is my world. My wife and I are raising three amazing kids who keep life busy, loud, and full of joy. Whether we’re playing board games, camping, or cheering on the Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas City Chiefs, there’s no place I’d rather be than with them.​
​
More recently, I have begun a journey on YouTube, where I help others learn ACT and live mindfully with weekly videos and live streams. This has been a wonderful learning opportunity as I teach things I am learning firsthand with clients who are some of the best teachers. My hope is make ACT easier to learn, more accessible, and simpler to digest.​​
