EMILIE & SHAWN BREEDING
Owners
Shawn and Emilie met in 2006 while working on an adolescent residential psychiatric unit in Dayton, Ohio. It was “love at first psych.” Shawn and Emilie married the following year and have been blessed with 3 beautiful children. Both Shawn and Emilie have a passion for serving patients in the field of mental health. They both decided to pursue advanced degrees with the dream of opening their own mental health outpatient practice. Shawn and Emilie’s vision came to fruition in the summer of 2021 when they opened WoodStream Wellness, a beautiful office space filled with positive energy and compassionate providers.
