Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.3 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 an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Pasadena

Finding ADHD therapists in Pasadena starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and routines for focus, planning, and follow-through. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Adults and children may also need different kinds of ADHD support, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties, age-group experience, and approach match what you want to work on.

Pasadena has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Los Angeles, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, work stress, school challenges, or relationship concerns, which makes relevant experience important. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you understand how each therapist works with ADHD and whether their communication style fits your preferences.

Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find Pasadena therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual appointments, and you can check which insurance plans are accepted for your specific coverage on Headway. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
