Getting to know Shawna Fishman

Hi there, I'm Shawna! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, Colorado, and New Mexico. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Pepperdine University. I work from the perspective that we all have what we need inside of us to become who we want to be. I believe in your ability to heal and grow as a person. My approach I have found that an integrative approach to counseling works best. I weave modern mental health techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and more with subtle movement, breath work, visualizations, and mindfulness/meditation. I have a non-religious spiritual lens through which I see the world. My focus I am committed to working with those who suffer from deep emotional traumas, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, life transitions, and grief in ways that bring relief and lasting change. I meet you where you are with no judgment or expectation. I believe no one is an expert on your life except you. I take a collaborative approach to create goals and act as a resource rather than an expert. My communication style My clients describe me as offering an authentic, intuitive presence and creating a supportive, compassionate, non-judgmental safe space. I will partner with you to help create the change you want in your life. If you have experienced trauma that still feels unresolved, we will work to process it so it no longer interferes with your life goals. My journey to mental healthcare Being a therapist is part of who I am. Being a conduit for healing came naturally to me. Being part of someone else's healing and transformation is a calling I find fulfilling and exciting. My goals for you My clients take the lead on goal setting. Together, we create goals that excite and motivate you to do the work needed to meet them. I like to write these goals so they are measurable, allowing you to see the progress you are making.
