Grief counselors and therapists in Westlake Village, CA

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I believe therapy should be a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, build on your strengths, and work toward the changes that matter most to you. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process.

I'm Shannon.

In addition to being a Licensed Mental Health Provider (LMFT), I am also a Nationally Certified Professional Mediator (NCPM), Family Law Mediation CME, Certified Specialist In Anger Management (CSAM), Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), and a Parent Plan Coordinator/Special Master.

At this time, our clinicians do not provide EMDR or ADHD-specific assessment or treatment. EMDR and ADHD requires specialized training and interventions. Please connect with a qualified specialist to ensure the most appropriate care.

I have over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, teens, individuals, couples, and families from culturally diverse populations on a wide range of issues and concerns..

I am licensed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas.

At this time, I only provide services virtually through a secure telehealth system.

Four things I want you to know before you begin therapy with me:

1. I want treatment to work just as much as you do.

2. I am not judging you, and need to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal.

3. I will not fight you for your healing.

What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together.

4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.

I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to improve their overall mental health, and is ready to learn the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

I look forward to working with you!

As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their challenges and build resilience.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and have over 15 years of experience in the field. I bring a compassionate, understanding, and open approach to therapy. I will be there to listen without judgment, gently challenge you when needed, and support you as you work toward your goals and create meaningful change in your life.

I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in children, young adults and adults. My work is grounded in evidence‐based approaches including play therapy and grief work, with a focus on anxiety, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. I aim to create a supportive, developmentally attuned space where clients feel understood and equipped with practical tools they can use in their daily lives. My style is collaborative and warm, helping clients build insight while also making meaningful, real‐world progress.

Do you feel like something is wrong with you? Do you wish it would all just stop and go away? Is your child acting out and you don't know why or what to do? If you have had any of these thoughts, then you're in the right place! My practice is based around what happened to us, not what is wrong with us. I am here to support & guide you in processing thoughts and feelings, reflect on experiences, learn new coping skills, and figure out next steps. I will listen, teach, brainstorm, guide and help you build tools to meet your goals.

I'm a fully licensed LCSW based in California, and I'm easing back into practice after taking time away for my health. I work best with clients looking for shorter-term, focused support rather than long, open-ended treatment. I know what it's like to face real-life challenges, and I bring genuine warmth and honesty to every session.

I work with anyone navigating adjustment/mood challenges, stress, trauma, grief, and co-occurring disorders. Using an integrative approach, I help clients make sustainable progress toward their goals and overall wellness.
