COASTAL THERAPY WELCOMES YOU
Each of us possesses an internal core of resilience, strength and determination. My goal in treatment is to help individuals to recognize, embrace, and utilize these attributes to navigate the challenges they face and to achieve peak emotional fitness. Emotional fitness is a state in which the mind is capable of staying away from negative thoughts and can focus on creative and constructive tasks. Therapy must focus on and nurture our mind and body to achieve the totality of emotional fitness. Therapy will allow us to embark on this mission together, guided by your individualized life goals.
​
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, with 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.
