Shena Crowe, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Shena!

My name is Shena, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner. I have had the pleasure of working in both the public and private sectors in behavioral health, which has provided me with a wealth of experience working with individuals, children, and families.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals on issues such as aging, anxiety, bipolar disorder, career counseling, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, family conflict, job stress, life transitions, racial identity, racial trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, and concerns of older adults.

My approach

I am trained in a range of modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, which has been beneficial to my clients' recovery. My whole-person approach to care has helped my clients safeguard their health, work through trauma, and manage their stress, anxiety, depression, and much more.

My communication style

I am invested in being a resource to you and helping you accomplish your goals. I want to encourage you to put your health first. Please remember that your mental health matters and requires attention and care just like other important areas of your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I learned quickly that people struggling with internal challenges faced familial shame or cultural stigma, making asking for help very difficult or non-existent, leaving many to struggle in silence. For these reasons, I have made it my mission to advocate for and help individuals who lack the support they need.

My goals for you

I am passionate about partnering with you on your journey to optimal health and enhanced well-being. My goal is to provide you with the support, resources, and skills you need to work through your challenges and accomplish your objectives.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and what your goals are. I will ask questions to learn more about you and your background. This will help me understand how I can best support you moving forward. We will also discuss the therapy process, and I will answer any questions you may have.
