Hi! My name is Shana Creyssels and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over twelve years of experience. I celebrate you in taking your first step, which is a huge strength.
My approach
I believe that you are the expert of you. My goal is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, inclusive, and empowering where we can work collaboratively to achieve what success means to you. Because each person's goals and needs are different, I have become an eclectic therapist where I have used various therapeutic modalities along the way to meet my clients where they are at and to help them achieve their goals. Common treatment modalities include Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, Narrative, Acceptance, and Humanistic. I have also been trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT).
My focus
I have provided services to individuals, adolescents, and children from diverse racial, ethnic, spiritual, and socio-economic backgrounds, as well as members of the LGBTQ Community. I am willing to see individuals and minors aged 13-17.
My communication style
Seeking support during difficult times can be a challenge. Due to various reasons, we somehow feel like reaching out for help makes us inadequate and like we can't solve things on our own. Or our family or cultural background has taught us that our lives are not meant to be shared. Life is an incredible journey that comes with experiences that shape who we are or serve as a driving point to where we want to go or who we want to become.
My journey to mental healthcare
I received my Master of Science (MS) degree from the University of Phoenix from August 2006 to November 2008 in Sacramento, CA. I gained knowledge and experience by working in a variety of therapeutic settings including Outpatient Mental Health Clinics and Agencies and non-public and public school settings in Northern California from November 2008 to September 2017.
My goals for you
I hope you will allow me to join you on your journey. I feel extreme gratitude for the opportunity to work with individuals who continue to work toward personal growth and transformation while exhibiting resilience.
