Collin McShirley approaches therapy by meeting people where they are, bringing full presence and professional experience while honoring each person’s own wisdom and life story. He sees taking steps toward a more fulfilling life as a meaningful and courageous choice, and he aims to support that process with compassion and practical guidance.

With 9 years of clinical experience, Collin specializes in anxiety and also works with stress, self-esteem concerns, grief, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, and provides coaching. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches to help clients set and reach their goals.

Collin holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and is licensed in California as a marriage and family therapist (state credential CA LMFT 94172). He values curiosity and self-acceptance in the therapeutic process, and strives to be a steady companion in clients’ struggles while helping them deepen their relationships with themselves and others.
