COASTAL THERAPY WELCOMES YOU

Each of us possesses an internal core of resilience and determination. My goal is to help you recognize and embrace your strengths to navigate life's challenges. To achieve this we focus on learning the practice of emotional fitness. Emotional fitness refers to an ongoing, proactive process of mental fortitude, flexibility and endurance that can be learned through cognitive training in our work together. In this, we will identify maladaptive thinking patterns, reconstruct these to create more effective cognitions and develop thoughts that are grounded in insight, empowerment and capabilities.

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.
