Getting to know Shannon Foster-MacAuley

Hi there, I'm Shannon! Hello, my name is Shannon Foster-MacAuley. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for helping others steady their course to create abundant and peaceful lives. Since rerouting my own path in 2012 to begin researching the psychological effects of trauma and war, I have had the privilege of working side by side with many individuals, families, and children of all ages who have experienced a wide array of trauma exposures. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, which has deepened my understanding and skills in this field. My approach My style of therapy is humanistic and client-centered in nature. I believe in the power and resiliency of the human spirit and provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space, utilizing evidence-based practices such as CBT to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. My focus I work with a wide range of clinical issues and specialize in trauma and stressor-related disorders. Whether clients are seeking growth personally or professionally, as a dual licensed therapist I have a broad range of clinical knowledge and training to assist them on their wellness journey. In addition, being a military veteran and member of a first responder family affords me unique insight into the culture of supporting professions and the impact this work may have on the individual as well as their relationships. My communication style Clients can expect a warm and comfortable space when working with me. My hope for every client is that, whether I am the right therapist for you or not, you will feel deeply respected and appreciated during our time together.
