“Dr. Silverstein is a wonderful person and psychologist. She makes me feel comfortable, heard, and respected above all else. As a queer person, that’s a rare find. ???? I really appreciate that she talks about her own personal experiences as well, so it feels more like a conversation than just dumping my traumas onto another person. Highly recommend!”

Getting to know Shannon Silverstein
My name is Dr. Shannon Silverstein, and I am a Licensed Psychologist originally from Southern California, providing therapy services to California clients statewide through telehealth. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University, and my Bachelor's degree from California Baptist University. I am dedicated to working with women struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relational struggles, grief, and/or trauma, utilizing therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the needs of each individual client. I am also skilled and enthusiastic about working with both adolescents and the elderly.
My approach
I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy but also draw from a variety of other theoretical approaches based on my client's personality and specific struggles. While some sessions may be solution-focused, others may involve more cathartic self-disclosure and sharing. My first priority, however, is building rapport with my clients! Therapy is most effective when there is trust and positive regard.
My focus
I typically work with women struggling with depression, anxiety, life transition problems, parenting struggles, postpartum depression/anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, grief, anger management, OCD, trauma, and substance abuse. I also work with adolescents facing depression, anxiety, bullying, low self-esteem, self-injurious behavior, and/or suicidal ideation. Additionally, I support elderly clients dealing with grief, loneliness, depression, life transition issues, or chronic illness.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, friendly, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a comfortable, positive atmosphere for my clients. I want my clients to feel like they have someone on their team-someone to encourage and cheer them on as they tackle their challenges.
