Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Westlake Village, CA


You may have spent years trying to make sense of painful experiences, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling in relationships without fully understanding why. Childhood and sexual trauma can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves, experience emotions, and connect with others. You may have learned to survive by putting others first, staying strong, or keeping your feelings hidden. But surviving is not the same as feeling safe, connected, and truly at peace. You deserve the opportunity to heal.

Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 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.
