COASTAL THERAPY WELCOMES YOU

How are your thoughts impacting your overall well being? Maybe they are racing and making it hard to focus or feel capable of accomplishing tasks. Maybe they are shaming you and focusing on perceived shortcomings instead of recognizing everyday successes. Perhaps they are looking at a challenge only able to predict negative or catastrophic outcomes. My goal in therapy is to help you to identify how your mind speaks to you and directly impacts your emotions and behaviors. With this insight, we can recognize and reconstruct ineffective thinking patterns and replace these with cognitions that improve your mood and self worth.

To achieve this, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness with a person-centered, strengths based approach.

KAREN SHANAHAN, L.M.H.C.

I have had the privilege of working in education and counseling psychology for over 20 years in a variety of roles, including practitioner, director, and co-chair of a non-profit Perinatal Mental Health group. I continue to practice and to fuel my passion by supporting adults in need of individual therapy to help cope with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and trauma. In addition to this, I have a specialization in supporting women dealing with postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility, perinatal loss, and traumatic pregnancy/birth as well as supporting overall maternal wellness and women's health.

Furthermore, after providing over 12 years of clinical training and supervision, I remain committed to supporting other clinicians in their professional development and client care, offering both individual and group supervision opportunities.
