CHANELL SHAVERS

Summary

To obtain a career within a community focused organization with increasing responsibility. I plan to use my extensive background in community outreach, and my professional experience in therapy to achieve my goals.

I have worked in various environments, under very different and complex situations, over the past 10 years. My skills have been tested and proven, and they range from group counseling to high school teens but are not limited to adults. I have more then 6years experience with adult behavioral health as well with Good Samaritan, kern behavior health and recovery, Steps and private practice. Every day I am improving quality controls by documenting events accurately and collaborating with my superiors to ensure the highest standards.
