Kelsi Shannon

MA, AMFT

I am a compassionate, grounded, trauma-informed psychotherapist specializing in work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Through a collaborative approach, I strive to create a space where clients feel understood and empowered. I integrate depth-oriented psychotherapy, attachment theory, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and evidence-based interventions to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. 

A significant focus of my practice is working with neurodivergent individuals and families, particularly those with ADHD and highly sensitive traits, in coping with trauma, grief, and major life transitions. With extensive school-based experience, I help youth and caregivers navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. I also support individuals experiencing the emotional impact of divorce, co-parenting, family conflict, and relationship patterns that can diminish self-trust and connection. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and thoughtfully incorporate cultural, spiritual, systemic, and developmental factors into treatment. 

My therapeutic style is warm, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based, helping clients strengthen emotional regulation, self-advocacy, confidence, and resilience. Rooted in depth psychology and drawing from my background in engineering, I bridge analytical thinking with the rich symbolic life of the psyche. I believe healing is more than symptom reduction and is a process of reclaiming one's voice, living in alignment with personal values, and cultivating deeper connections with oneself and others. At the heart of my work is a genuine belief in each person's inherent capacity for growth and transformation.

I currently work as a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 138964) under the licensed supervision of Kristina Berger (LMFT 144595).
