Therapy With Shannon Bernsten
Finding your way, together.
At some point, we all find ourselves stuck. Unsure of how to move forward, weighed down by past experiences, or longing for deeper connections. You might be carrying pain that feels too big, emotions that feel overwhelming or hard to name, or patterns that seem impossible to break.
Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone. In our work together, I’ll offer a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.
Together, we can explore your story with curiosity and compassion. The way I see it, therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about giving you space to be human. To make sense of your experiences, to untangle what’s been weighing you down, and to move through life with more clarity and self-compassion.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward self understanding and personal growth.

It is hard to predict how long our work together will last as it depends on your individual goals. Throughout our work together we will revisit your goals to ensure you are making the progress you hope to see.

I believe therapy is most beneficial when there is consistency, so I aim to meet with clients weekly. My policy is to meet weekly during the initial assessment period in order to establish trust and a good rapport. In some cases I am open to checking in after the initial assessment period to determine if an alternative cadence is appropriate.

My rate varies based on configuration of therapy and session length. I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. I am happy to discuss my fee structure and find a price point that feels accessible for you within this structure.
I am considered an out-of-network provider, and do not accept insurance directly. I can provide a monthly super bill that some insurance providers will accept for full or partial reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly for more information about your reimbursement eligibility.
-
I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you miss your appointment, cancel or change your appointment with less than 48 hours notice, you will be charged the full session fee.

Yes. I see clients in-person in Oakland and San Francisco, and virtually across California .
