Shauntis Bussey, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

So you’ve known for a while that you needed to talk to a therapist, but you’re not sure who will actually get you. Glad you found me. Maybe you’ve held it together so well that even you started believing your struggles weren’t “that bad.” You’ve learned to go it alone, carry all the responsibility, and push through. For a while, it worked: you checked the boxes, hit the milestones, got the bag. But now you’re exhausted, overthinking, and wondering why a life that looks fine on paper still feels so hard and empty. This is the point where you don’t need another cardigan-wrapped therapist who’s going to nod and let you fill the silence. You need someone who will get to the heart of things quickly, challenge you when it matters, and give you something you might not have right now: a soft place to land. If that sounds familiar, let’s talk. In our work, you’ll have space to unpack pressure, burnout, perfectionism, and identity stressors. My practice is culturally responsive and LGBTQ+ affirming. With insurance accepted and telehealth sessions statewide, getting started is seamless. Call, email, or submit an inquiry form today.

My practice is fully telehealth, and California based.
