Dr. McCormick is the most knowledgable psychiatrist I have ever dealt with and she is very open and kind.
Tonya Boots, LMHC, is a licensed mental health counselor at Rein Center, an integrative psychiatry practice based in Iowa City, Iowa. Tonya decided to become a therapist because she enjoys helping people and has a natural ability to listen and empathize with others.
Tonya graduated with her bachelor's degree from St. Ambrose University and earned her master's degree in clinical mental health counseling at Loyola University Chicago.
During her studies, she assisted with published research projects that addressed social justice issues and became very passionate about helping adolescents who experienced chronic and big "T" traumas. She completed her clinical training at an inpatient psychiatric hospital in Chicago that specialized in treating PTSD. After graduating from Loyola, she worked at an adolescent group home in Indianapolis, where she gained valuable experience with crisis de-escalation and helping children and families involved in the welfare system. Many of her early experiences pushed her toward utilizing somatic psychotherapy interventions such as yoga, meditation, guided imagery, and deep breathing to effectively release tension and stress in the body caused by trauma. Inviting her clients to move intuitively and genuinely do what feels good tends to increase awareness of their feelings and bodily sensations and gain a sense of control and ownership over their physical bodies.

Dr. McCormick is the most knowledgable psychiatrist I have ever dealt with and she is very open and kind.
Dr. McCormick listens carefully to my concerns and addresses them with compassion and knowledge. She is good about sharing information so that I can be an informed patient about the benefits of any treatment she prescribes.
excellent
Dr. McCormick is insightful and genuinely caring. She is a knowledgeable, out-of the box thinker with a holistic approach. I feel both heard and inspired every time that I see her. Highly recommend her!
Wonderful service and care.
Dr. McCormick has worked tirelessly to manage my weird side effects, while treating debilitating depression, and caring for me as a a whole person, always addressing the full picture.
Dr. McCormick has been an outstanding asset to my mental health.
Amazing, is an understatement. A very " non - clinical " , welcoming atmosphere upon arrival. Dr.McCormick conveys a very sincere, trusting aura that allows me to be open and honest about myself, and one does not have the feeling of being judged or " pre- diagnosed " . I can definitely, without reservation, recommend seeing Dr.McCormick for helping navigate this not so smooth road of life we travel.
Just from my first appointment -- Dr. McCormick is an incredible doctor! Very holisitic in nature and compassionate. Extremely smart and thorough. i look forward to working with Dr. McCormick more in upcoming sessions.
Shannon is truly amazing! She is wonderful to talk to, i can tell her something that i humiliated about and she instantly puts all fears at ease! Her way of making people comfortable is someone I've never experienced! Highly highly reccomend and am so thankful for her.

Successfully writing to address issues of anxiety and depression.
Absolute treasure to find and attentive to an individual's needs with beneficial advice.
Today was my first ever experience with therapy. Even in my first session I felt heard. I'm eager to see how sessions continue to allow me to have tools and strategies to cope with life.
Really listens to me. Pushes me but not too much and consistently checks in during sessions
It has been easy to make my appointment & access forms. I had no problems getting on zoom & my appointment started promptly at the scheduled time. I found my therapist easy to talk to about issues that I have been having. This is a good sign for the first visit.
Shannon is very attentive to my concerns and often asks me to share some experiences that seem to affect me.
Very caring and helpful
Best decision I ever made
Shannon has been excellent and very helpful/supportive. For the first time in a long while I feel I am making progress on the changes and improvements I would like to make as a direct result of Shannon’s guidance.
Shannon is incredible! She allows me to have a safe and open discussion, wherever that might take us! Very thankful.
I wholeheartedly love the safe space Shannon provides me. I am allowed to be my most vulnerable authentic self and she shows up for me without judgment, rather with compassion and understanding. I am provided tools to support me in my transition to a healthy mental space, sharing how the tools are working for me or when I am struggling. I wish everyone had the opportunity to be fully human without judgment and simultaneously be equipped with strategies to help them grow to a healthy and happy state of being.
As always I appreciate everything that you do
She’s very kind and patient!
I have been impressed with the care I have received and would highly recommend the Rein Center to anyone looking for quality, caring counseling.
Dr. McCormick has been the a life saver for me! She takes the time and listens and has so much knowledge! I’m thankful to have found her!
Great visit. Good advice given.
