Shane Rayburn brings more than twenty years of experience in Georgia’s public schools as an educator and administrator, along with bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in education and language. That deep grounding in adolescent development, learning, and family systems now anchors his clinical work with teens. As a person in recovery himself, he pairs professional training with lived experience and a genuine understanding of what the recovery process asks of a young person and their family.

At Eagle Overlook Recovery, Shane serves as a Counseling Intern, working under the supervision of Clinical Director Sarah Hartshorn-Chapman, LPC, while completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Richmont Graduate University with specialized training in child and adolescent counseling. He works with adolescents facing substance use, behavioral concerns, family conflict, anxiety, depression, and life transitions - drawing on attachment-informed, narrative, psychodynamic, and person-centered approaches to help young people build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting change.
