Shanae Anderson, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Shanae!

I help individuals navigate life's challenges with clarity and resilience. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore mental health, build coping strategies, and achieve lasting personal growth.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life stressors. Together we understand what's beneath the surface, build coping tools, and move toward greater balance and emotional well-being.

My approach

My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I believe in meeting clients where they are, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Using evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based strategies.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, personable, and nonjudgmental. My goal is for you to feel comfortable being vulnerable in session while also feeling heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a desire to help others at a pretty young age. My friends would always come to me looking for guidance and advice, and I would happily provide it to them without judgment. During my journey, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse individuals who have taught me resilience, vulnerability, and growth.

My goals for you

I believe therapy works best when it’s a true collaboration. From the start, we’ll work together to identify goals that feel meaningful and relevant to your life—whether that’s reducing anxiety, processing grief, improving relationships, or building healthier coping strategies.

Our first session

The first session is all about getting to know you—your story, your concerns, and what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to work on, explore any goals you may have, and I’ll answer any questions you have about the process.
