Getting to know Shawna Acunia

Hi there, I'm Shawna! I know taking this step isn’t always easy, and I’m here to support you along the way. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges, build healthier boundaries, and become the best version of themselves. My focus You will lead, and I will guide. I believe healing is not one size fits all, and therapy can draw from a variety of approaches to best support your needs. My work is always centered on meeting you where you are, creating a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and empowering. My approach I use a blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs. Gestalt helps you stay present, Narrative therapy supports processing the past, CBT helps challenge negative thoughts, and psychodynamic therapy explores deeper patterns and barriers to help you break cycles that no longer serve you. My communication style I am here to support you with a warm, gentle approach. However, I believe laughter and humor can be powerful tools for healing, helping us process the past and break cycles that no longer serve us, while also helping us navigate communication and processing. My goals for you I offer a culturally informed, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can reconnect with your authentic self, explore your relationships, and begin to heal from the inside out. You don't have to do this alone. I'm here to walk alongside you.
