Shannon Powell

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed, holistic care for individuals seeking meaningful change.

I view therapy as a bridge — helping you move from the past to your desired future.

Using evidence-based approaches, I help you uncover and release patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve you. Instead of changing these patterns through force, we clear away the distortions to reveal the clarity underneath.

My goal is to walk alongside you on this leg of your healing journey, as you align your mind, body, spirit and actions.

Therapist

Virtual • Walnut Creek, CA


My name is Ezgi Rozenshteyn, and I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California and Florida. My own experience navigating life's

challenges shaped my compassionate, client-centered approach. I work with adults and couples on anxiety, depression, relationship issues,

trauma, grief or loss, OCD, and ADHD, drawing on evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies suited to what you're facing. Many

clients are managing more than one of these at once, and together we break that into pieces you can act on. You can expect practical tools

you can use right away, a collaborative space to build self-awareness, and steady support as you work toward the changes that matter most to

you.
