Getting to know Shawn Phalen

I believe we all deserve to live a life that is fulfilling and deeply satisfying, where one can embody their truest self. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, and bring 11 years of experience working in diverse healthcare settings. I am particularly skilled in supporting individuals who struggle with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and loss. I also work with teenagers, couples, and families. My goal as I work with clients is to help facilitate personal growth, increase self-esteem, and meet each client where they are in the process of self-discovery.

Shawn is an excellent clinician and has a huge heart. we work on self love, groundedness, balance, relationships , and grief. She is exceptional.
Shawn has been instrumental in supporting me to maintain my emotional wellness. She is easy to talk to and feels genuinely herself while also maintaining her professional presence. I’m so grateful to have had Shawn’s emotional support, caring presence, and guidance while I’ve been navigating an especially tumultuous recent period. She’s been the most helpful therapist I’ve had and I’m immensely grateful for the work we’ve done together!
Shawn has been such a caring and genuine therapist for me. She is very patient and focuses on what my needs are. She has given me many tools to use for my many issues! A++ for being open minded and having a beautiful heart.
Shawn was very caring and open to conversation, interpretation and more. She worked well the the two of us and held both of our ideas at the highest level of care.
Seeing her for years. She's the best. Sweet. Funny. Professional. Caring. She's an all around good person, with good insight and stable advice.
From the start Shawn has made it clear she is on my team, supporting me in identifying and making progress towards my goals, challenging me when appropriate, and celebrating my successes!
She actually listens to what I’m saying and is genuinely a great therapist , she’s the first one I’ve had that hears what I’m saying and works with me. The techniques / coping skills she gives me to help me work through my trauma/ anxiety is also extremely helpful and something that hasn’t worked in the past.
She is great therapist and is a great listener
Shawn is great. She provides a perfect balance of listening and feedback, when necessary. She has helped us improve communication and, as a result, improve our relationship.
Overall, things are going well.
I had a wonderful appointment with Shawn, she was kind and thoughtful and made me feel comfortable and welcome. I look forward to working on myself with Shawn at the helm.
