Shannan Katz

Shannan Katz helps clients weather the storms of change during difficult periods of stress, loneliness, and life transition. She provides a listening ear and a thoughtful sounding board, working collaboratively to build insight into emotions and thought patterns and to make measurable progress toward personal goals.

With 11 years of clinical experience, Shannan approaches therapy with a heart-centered style that emphasizes kindness and nonjudgmental support, while also offering structured feedback when a more direct approach is preferred. She has a post-graduate certificate in sex therapy and welcomes clients from the LGBTQIA community as well as anyone who wishes to explore questions about sexuality in counseling.

Shannan has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, anger management, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also provides coaching and support for compassion fatigue.

She is licensed as a professional clinical counselor in California and as a mental health counselor in Massachusetts, and she practices from Ohio. Shannan is not a crisis counselor, and her chosen modality is not a suitable fit for clients who are struggling with self-harm or suicidal urges or behavior. Typically an initial session is conducted by video, and most follow-up sessions take place by phone. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions about the process and fit before beginning work together.
