“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.”

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.
