I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples, facing challenges with relationships and divorce, coping with anxiety and depression, and navigating life's myriad challenges. I also work with executives and professionals helping them understand how their inner world affects their professional effectiveness and efficiency. All of my work is grounded in evidenced-based treatments including: DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), PCM (Process Communications Model) and value-oriented and mindfulness-based approaches—tailored to best fit the needs of my clients. I am empathic, direct, and dedicated to your progress. Together we’ll achieve the changes you desire and need as quickly as you need it.

I help you get to know yourself better. Working with deep compassion and understanding, clients often find healing through enhancing their strengths and exploring new ways of being. My work is effective with adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I'm particularly passionate about working with people who possess the courage to live lifestyles that are counter-culture to mainstream society and those ready to deepen their relationship with other-than-human nature. My background and specialties include experience with trauma recovery, alternatives to mainstream education, multi-cultural, blended families, spirituality, and adoption related issues.

What kind of dystopian hellscape is this? A world that insists everything is fine while quietly unraveling. Welcome. You might belong here. Your brain runs like a browser with too many tabs open. Thoughts move fast. Environments overwhelm. Social rules feel unclear. You care deeply, think intensely, and sometimes wish you could just turn it all off and breathe. Your nervous system stays alert. You catch tone shifts, subtext, and dynamics others miss. Conversations get rehearsed and replayed. You move between craving connection and needing space. You show up for others while wondering if anyone truly sees you. If you have ever felt like you do not fit, it may be because the mold was never built for you. Neurodivergent. Anxious. LGBTQIA+. Creative. Empathic. Complex. You belong here. I work with people who experience life at a deeper level. Those who feel everything quickly and are done shrinking to stay comfortable for others. Here, your sensitivity is not a problem to fix. Your identity does not need explaining. You get to exist as you are. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with intuitive attunement. We honor your nervous system, your lived experience, and your story. Together, we explore what you have been carrying alone. We make space for the parts of you that have been masked or misunderstood. Anxiety does not get to run the whole show. We build something that actually feels like your life. You do not have to translate yourself here. Too much becomes exactly right. You are not lost. You are not alone. I will be here. Try not to overthink your way out of showing up.

Life brings challenges that can feel overwhelming at times. We struggle with stress, relationships, family, work, and even with ourselves. Sometimes these struggles feel especially lonely. You may hesitate to share what you are going through because you do not want to burden others, or because you fear others may not understand. Therapy can be a place where you do not have to carry those struggles alone. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I want to help you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Whether you come as an individual, a couple, or a family, my goal is to offer insight, support, and practical tools to help you navigate life’s stressors, and build healthier ways of coping and connecting.

I provide professional, caring and holistic psychotherapy in a safe and supportive environment for adults, couples, teens and families. With 30 years of counseling experience and as a solution-focused and intuitive psychotherapist I am able to rapidly identify and then provide insight, guidance and emotional support in the resolution of my client's core issues. We will unearth and clear long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling, meaningful and joyful life. I use an integrative approach which includes CBT, Internal Family Systems, Depth Psychology, Imago and Mindfulness based therapies. The intention is to clear negative thoughts, programming, patterns, trauma and PTSD. These modalities assist in dissolving the root issues that cause anxiety, panic attacks and depression. I assist with Narcissist Abuse Recovery in individual psychotherapy sessions.

Our team of licensed therapists brings decades of combined experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families across diverse populations and life experiences.

We create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

There’s constant tension with the people who matter most – your partner, your child, your family– and it’s wearing you down. Conflict keeps resurfacing, no matter how hard you try to fix it. Conversations escalate, good intentions get misunderstood, and family dynamics pull everyone back into the same arguments. You try to stay calm and patient, but you find yourself reacting in ways you promised you wouldn’t – then wondering why it’s so hard to change. Much of this strain is shaped by how you learned to manage stress and closeness growing up, even when those patterns no longer serve you. You need a different path forward. I work with families and couples using a generational patterns lens. Together, we slow interactions down, examine how stress travels through relationships, and reduce reactivity that fuels conflict. This work helps untangle unhelpful dynamics and strengthen communication so you can respond thoughtfully instead of getting pulled into old cycles. Over time, relationships feel calmer and more balanced. You stay grounded in stressful moments, communication becomes more direct and effective, and tension relaxes. As you gain confidence, you respond in ways that reflect who you are, not just what you were taught. It’s time to make a change for you and your family. Call now for a free consultation.

I utilize multiple approaches to support clients in stabilization, increasing self-efficacy, and self-love that empowers them to develop strong boundaries, communication, and self-determination through self-advocacy. We collaborate on the best approaches for readiness to reprocess trauma through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and set the stage for a better experience in their relationships, careers, and daily lives. Let's work together to make some serious changes and get you living your peace!

I understand the apprehension in seeking therapy and counseling. I also understand the importance of obtaining therapy in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I believe that there are times in our lives when we all face a need to seek counsel with someone who is able to relate to your struggles. My approach is to use my experiences in "facing my fears" and anxieties to assist you. I work to provide strategies and goals so you are able to overcome your struggles. My most successful results were with a therapist who allowed me to shed my facades and gave me the opportunity to express myself with open and honest communication and not have a fear of being judged. I hope to help you with some of the strategies and life changes that work, not simply from what is learned in a book or classroom, but from personal experiences as well.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, disconnected in your relationships, or unsure how to move forward during a major life change. Perhaps the same patterns keep showing up, even when you understand that something needs to change. Therapy can offer space to make sense of what you are experiencing and explore a different way forward. I’m Dr. Shannon Daneshrad, a licensed clinical psychologist in Beverly Hills. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and attentive to your individual experiences, culture, and goals. Together, we can explore how past experiences and relationship patterns influence your life today. I draw on psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), combining deeper understanding with practical ways to work through difficult thoughts, emotions, and everyday challenges. Our work may focus on expressing your needs, strengthening relationships, building self-understanding, or navigating a painful transition.
