Getting to know Shannon Miller
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Silvi Integrative Health.
Shannon Miller, AMFT approaches therapy as a "Therapeutic Sherpa" — walking alongside clients as they navigate the complex terrain of their personal histories, emotions, and relationships. She believes healing is both courageous and collaborative, and that with the right support, individuals can reconnect with a fuller, more integrated sense of self.
A third-generation Los Angeles native, Shannon brings a “Warm Modern” approach to therapy: intentional and contemporary, yet deeply rooted in genuine human connection. Her style is authentic, compassionate, and present, with a touch of humor that helps clients feel at ease, understood, and supported.
Before joining Silvi Integrative Health, Shannon played a central role in the Santa Barbara County mental health system. She was a founding member of the interdisciplinary Familiar Faces Team within the Justice Alliance and served as dedicated 5150 staff for the Santa Barbara County Mobile Crisis Team. She also managed telehealth mental health services for Santa Barbara County jail facilities, supporting individuals experiencing complex trauma, crisis, and treatment-resistant mood disorders.
Shannon holds a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from UMass Global and a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University. She is honored to support individuals, couples, and families as they rediscover resilience, clarity, and vitality.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect a grounded, steady presence and a collaborative partnership. Shannon works comfortably with both high-acuity clinical presentations and high-functioning individuals and couples, adapting her approach to meet each client’s unique needs.
Her clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities with intuitive empathy. Treatment may draw from:
EMDR and other trauma recovery approaches
Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed parts work
Motivational Interviewing
Solution-Focused Therapy
Mindfulness-based interventions
She has particular experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and complex trauma, as well as those seeking personal growth, relational clarity, and emotional resilience.
Shannon is committed to culturally competent, spiritually inclusive care and proudly provides an LGBTQI+ affirming space. She values curiosity, respect, and honoring each client’s identity and lived experience.
Her approach balances depth with warmth—she believes therapy can be meaningful and transformative while still leaving room for humor and humanity.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the process. Shannon takes time to explore your history, current stressors, strengths, and goals in order to collaboratively create a treatment plan that feels aligned and manageable.
Sessions are conversational, reflective, and goal-oriented. Depending on your needs, you may engage in trauma-processing work, parts exploration through IFS-informed techniques, skill-building for emotional regulation, or solution-focused strategies to address immediate challenges.
Shannon views therapy as an evolving process. As insight deepens and goals shift, the work adapts. Throughout treatment, she prioritizes safety, trust, and steady progress, helping you build resilience while also reconnecting with joy, balance, and the parts of yourself that may have felt lost along the way.
