Finding a good therapeutic fit can be a real challenge! When you're at a low point, it can seem even more daunting to reach out and take on this task. I aim to make this process as simple and effective as possible. If you're struggling with issues, I can provide a supportive, gentle, compassionate, and nonjudgmental presence while we work together to learn what steps you can take to make things better. If you're doing mostly OK but need someone to talk to as you navigate life's ups and downs, I can help with that too! My main areas of experience and expertise are substance use, anxiety and mood issues, trauma, and life transitions.

Welcome and please take a seat. Looks like you are beginning to take steps in addressing a specific, or maybe a general, need/concern that you are currently facing. Let's begin with you telling me why and what you want to talk about.

I treat clients with a variety of problems that impact their relationships, functioning, and personal growth. My areas of emphasis include depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma recovery, workplace stress, life and career transitions, and creative issues/artist support (I work with many entertainment professionals). We collaborate to explore how past and present relationships and experiences reflect unconscious patterns that may impede us, make it difficult to stop our impulses, or cause suffering. The goal is to alleviate symptoms and to help people live healthier lives and make more meaningful connections with others.

Our deepest Self is good, creative and generative; we are beautiful and resilient beings, an integration of body, mind, spirit, and ancestry. Yet sometimes life’s challenges sabotage our joy or interrupt our purpose, leaving us feeling anxious, grieved, or manifesting destructive thought and behavioral patterns. These challenges are the daily demands of navigating our chaotic world, but sometimes include other traumas such as violence, abuse, or family and inter-generational wounds.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in CA (PSY27345) and NM (PSY20230020), providing individual or group psychotherapy and consultation. Therapy is Relational. I find that the exploration of our interpersonal relationships, including the relationship between the therapist and client, can help to overcome internal conflicts we face in our lives. Furthermore I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative process which brings something unique to each patient-therapist relationship. Working together, we can uncover your personal needs, in real time, to better understand how to express yourself in your everyday life.

My intention is to help you reconnect to the vitality, openness and curiosity that lives within you. I help people rediscover their authentic selves, find their voice, and self-actualize unapologetically.

Shannon Novoa, LMFT. I enjoy helping others uncomplicate the complicated. I believe the client is the best narrator of their story. Therapy should feel comfortable and judgment-free. Typically work with parents and children to assist in understanding different dynamics. I also worked with various adults with different backgrounds ranging from substance abuse to developmental difficulties. I also have experience with ADHD in teens & adults and different neurological diagnoses.

Do you ever struggle with feeling disconnected, like you don't fit in, or like you're watching the world happen around you from the outside in? Do you feel like you need someone to really understand you? To feel heard and unconditionally accepted in a space of your own? Above all, the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship we will cultivate together in session, which is in and of itself an invaluable tool. I value the concepts of authenticity, comfort and client autonomy in the therapy space. We will always go at your own pace. Where you go in that space, I will be there beside you.

I believe that the relationship you have with your therapist plays an important role in the process of healing and growing. It is always my intention to create a safe, supportive and compassionate environment to help foster that growth.

People enter into therapy for many reasons. Often the catalyst is difficulty with a relationship, a job, or a way of coping. Anxiety and depression can provide the stimulus to seek help. When they intrude into everyday waking consciousness they are indicators that something is out of balance and needs to be addressed. Areas of particular interest within my practice are parent-child difficulties, especially the early stages of parenting; relationships; finding one's voice and inner authority; creativity; grief and loss; and the struggle to live one's own life.

Being human is hard. Sometimes, it can feel like we’re running in circles or sleepwalking through life on auto-pilot with racing thoughts that clutter the mind and paralyze the spirit. Overwhelmed by the weight of emptiness in the heart, but possibly already skipping or spiraling ahead to the next step to carry on with the performance of this existence because “everything is fine.” The show must go on, right? There may be limitations and even detrimental consequences to filling the void with excessive distractions. How did too much become never enough?
