About Shannan
Shannan Faust is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people feel heard.
Shannan adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. She emphasizes straightforward support that targets day-to-day challenges such as low motivation, worry, and difficulty recovering from painful experiences. Practical strategies and gentle guidance are used to help people build confidence and cope with strong emotions.
Her work often addresses related concerns like attachment issues, communication struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. She also offers support around mood disorders, workplace stress, women’s issues, and recovery from narcissistic or post-traumatic experiences.
Shannan seeks to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. She frames progress as small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and healthier behaviors. Signing up for therapy can be hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.
Background and approach: Shannan’s four years of experience inform a flexible, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on real problems and practical coping skills. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjusts the plan as needs change. The emphasis is on respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process.
