About Shannon
Shannon Bettencourt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 22 years of experience who helps people facing low self esteem, relationship strain, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on building confidence, practical coping skills, and motivation so clients can take small, steady steps toward change. Shannon speaks English and practices in California.
Shannon sees people as the experts in their own stories. She looks for existing strengths to build on and helps clients name clear, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and practical strategies rather than technical jargon. The aim is to make shifts that feel doable in everyday life.
In therapy she supports people working through relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with stress management, anxiety, and hoarding-related challenges when those come up. The focus is on what the client wants to change and how to move toward it, step by step.
Shannon encourages courage and commitment to the work. She offers a steady, encouraging presence and helps people notice progress along the way. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort and needs.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and scheduling factors.
