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 the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Pasadena

Finding family therapists in Pasadena starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention family therapy, parent-child relationships, adolescent concerns, or approaches that match what you want to address.

Pasadena is a smaller city within a larger mental health care market, so local in-person options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.

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 get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has availability.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
