Getting to know Shannon Huckstein

Hi there, I'm Shannon! I am a licensed psychotherapist and yoga therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mount St. Mary’s University. I work with individuals and couples in California via online talk therapy sessions and facilitate in-person and online group yoga programs. My approach Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured couples therapy approach prioritizing emotional connection and attachment. It helps partners identify and understand emotional responses and patterns in their relationship. Through guided conversations and interventions, couples learn to express needs and feelings more effectively, fostering deeper intimacy and trust. EFT is effective for addressing conflict, communication breakdowns, and emotional disconnection, helping couples build stronger, more resilient bonds. My focus I have seen clients shift from feeling anxious, stressed, and worried to managing emotional triggers, allowing them to feel more calm and centered—even during difficult transitions. My communication style Whether you second-guess yourself, bury emotions with food, feel plagued by regret, or are haunted by past trauma—I’m here to tell you that you are worthy and capable of change. My journey to mental healthcare Like many, I was launched into adulthood with heavy baggage. My mom died of cancer when I was 23. I know firsthand the toll chronic stress, poor eating, painful relationships, and depression take on mind, body, and spirit. I learned it’s never too late to course-correct and possible to move through complicated problems with fortified peace and perspective. My goals for you I love my work because it’s a privilege to help others experience a satisfying quality of life—a life anchored by inner harmony, enriched with daily laughter, and that feels connected and meaningful.
