Shanna Sea DewMarriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, 500-RYT

About

I specialize in working with both teens and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, grief, anxiety, and the impact of difficult life transitions. My work often focuses on developmental trauma—those early experiences that shape how safe, seen, and connected we feel in the world. I draw from advanced training in Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and expressive arts therapy to support both the mind and body in healing. My approach helps clients feel more grounded, soften self-criticism, and reconnect with a deeper sense of compassion and wholeness. In our work together, I bring a calm, compassionate presence. Sometimes that means slowing down with somatic practices to settle emotions; other times it means using Brainspotting or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a gentle approach that helps process painful memories without needing to relive every detail.
