“I believe that therapy is most effective when it provides a safe, collaborative space to understand how past experiences continue to shape present patterns—and how those patterns can change.”

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.2 mi away • Sherman Oaks, CA


I work collaboratively to explore patterns that may leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy can offer space to gain insight and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with those who overthink, worry, people-please, struggle with boundaries, or put others’ needs first. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build practical coping skills. I offer an open, nonjudgmental space to explore these topics with compassion and a sense of humor.

Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Cerritos, CA


It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Encino, CA


I'm an LMFT with 18 years of experience working with a genuinely wide range of people — and by that I mean the whole spectrum: straight, gay, queer, transgender clients pre-, during, and post-transition, people in non-traditional relationships, and any adults navigating anxiety, depression, or the long reach of childhood. I have deep training in gender-affirming care, which means I understand the clinical and emotional complexity of transition — not just the basics. I also work with couples who want to stop having the same fight and actually change how they relate to each other. I have a multicultural clientele and welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures.
