About Shannon
Shannon Bode is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and self esteem concerns. She draws on nearly 19 years of experience to create a calm, responsive space where people can begin to rebuild trust in themselves. Her approach centers on connection and understanding rather than quick fixes.
Shannon uses a mix of relational and evidence-informed methods to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She pays attention to family histories and attachment patterns so clients can interrupt repeating cycles. Sessions often include gentle mindfulness work to help people feel steadier in their bodies and minds.
Her practice is trauma-informed and identity-affirming. That means she works to recognize how past hurts shape present responses, especially around shame, abandonment, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with life transitions such as divorce, caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Clients can expect a conversational style that invites their story. Shannon helps people rewrite unhelpful narratives and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. She balances attentive listening with clear reflections that make patterns easier to see.
Based in California, Shannon brings steady experience and a focus on practical change. She encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward greater self-compassion and more satisfying relationships.
