Shawna Hogan, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Shawna!

I am a therapist working with individuals, couples, adolescents, families, and older adults. I bring a wealth of experience to our work together, and I'm committed to creating a space where you feel understood and supported as we navigate your unique challenges.

My focus

I specialize in working with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents/teens, individuals navigating adoption, aging, anger management, anxiety, chronic illness, depression, divorce, family conflict, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, marital/pre-marital concerns, parenting, and pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum experiences.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, systems, narrative, and psychodynamic modalities. However, my primary goal is to collaborate with you to meet your unique wants and needs. I believe in a team approach, where you and I work together to discover the best path forward.

My communication style

In our sessions, I aim to create a supportive and collaborative environment. I am not afraid to voice opinions when appropriate, but ultimately, your choices are up to you. We share the same goal: to help you feel better and be more productive in the ways you desire.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I believe deeply in the power of connection and the human capacity for growth. Being trusted with someone's story is an honor, and I'm committed to walking alongside you as you work toward the life you want to create.

My goals for you

My goal for you is to provide a safe, confidential space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in your life. I am honored to be trusted with your story and to guide you toward the future you envision for yourself.

Our first session

In our first session, we will begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and your hopes for our work together. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding.
