Almog Shanun

Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Monrovia, CA


  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Glendale

Finding addiction therapists in Glendale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with addiction, substance use, or behavioral concerns. Some therapists use approaches such as motivational interviewing or cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, and some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Glendale offers local access to mental health care while also sitting close to the broader Los Angeles area, which can give you more options to compare. Your search may include therapists with offices near central Glendale, nearby neighborhoods, or virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, including whether they mention harm reduction, recovery support, or a non-judgmental style.

Therapy in Glendale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who take insurance, review detailed profiles, see estimated session costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
