Getting to know Shavonne Garibay

Hi there, I'm Shavonne! Hello and welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate care to individuals facing a variety of challenges. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Hayward. My expertise lies in crisis management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and brief therapy. My approach CBT and DBT are two evidence-based therapies I frequently use in my practice. CBT helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. DBT is a skills-based therapy that focuses on teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. My focus I most often work with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression. However, with my background in crisis work, I also have experience supporting those who have experienced trauma, grief, and loss. I am skilled in helping clients build resilience and coping skills. Additionally, I enjoy assisting individuals in developing self-care strategies to manage stress and maintain their mental health over time. My communication style I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where clients receive the tools and resources they need to achieve their goals. I work with clients to identify their strengths, challenges, and areas for growth, then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique goals. My journey to therapy My interest in becoming a therapist grew from my experience of growing up in an environment where culturally and religiously, therapy was not an option. I wanted to create a space where individuals could feel comfortable seeking support and accessing tools for positive change—free from judgment and embracing all aspects of their uniqueness.
