COASTAL THERAPY WELCOMES YOU
Each of us possesses an internal core of resilience, strength and determination. My goal is to help you recognize and embrace your internal strengths to navigate life's challenges. Together, we focus on nurturing both mind and body to stay clear of negative thoughts and focus on creative, constructive goals, empowering you to achieve emotional fitness by utilizing your inner resilience.
​
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.
