Shannon Acuna

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a clinical therapist, LICSW with additional training in trauma, somatic work, functional medicine and nutrition. I am passionate about helping people to live the best version of themselves and work through a whole person lens. My style is strengths based, non-judgmental and meeting people where they are at in their journey,
My hope is to create a safe and welcoming space for you, by listening, collaborating and building upon your unique beliefs and identity. I encourage feedback and modify to meet your individual needs.

I believe the therapeutic process provides an opportunity for continued wellness helping you identify and build upon your strengths. Through exploring and recognizing the impact of past and present, I help individuals gain insights, identify needs and goals, and recognize that healing is possible. I believe incorporating self-care and gratitude into one’s life results in increased experiences of joy and happiness and the ability to navigate life’s challenges more effectively.

In my personal life, I love spending time with family and friends(and my cat, Luna) being in nature, hiking, playing volleyball and traveling.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

People often wonder whether remote therapy can produce meaningful results. For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adapting to life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, choosing the method that feels most comfortable and fits their schedule. This variety of options makes it easier to integrate therapy into daily life. All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients can switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit.
