I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience guiding individuals, children, and families through life’s most complex challenges. My practice is built on a trauma-focused lens and a relationship-based approach, meaning I prioritize creating a safe, secure therapeutic bond to foster true healing. I believe in addressing wellness holistically, looking at how your mind, body, relationships, and environment interconnect to impact your overall well-being.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations including extensive practice experience in public and private school settings, and private practice experiences within the hospital Emergency Room, Home Health agencies, Community Mental Health clinics, and Infant/Toddler and Early Child Development.

I offer specialized expertise in navigating the unique transitions of Maternal/Infant Mental Health, supporting Veterans, military-connected families and First Responders utilizing Holistic treatment modalities, addressing adult relationship challenges impacting health and emotional well-being, and supporting adolescent mental health including providing Wellness Coaching to Elite Junior athletes in issues impacting varying emotions associated with their performance including motivation, focus, performance anxiety, depression, maladaptive perfectionism and burnout.

I hold a Psy.D. in Organizational Management and Consulting from Phillips Graduate Institute in Encino, CA., MSW and MPH degrees from UC Berkeley, in Community Mental Health/School Social Work and Social Work Administration/Maternal and Child Health and a B.A in Psychology from UC Berkeley. I have a Pupil Personnel Credential (CA) and received a Parent/Infant Mental Health Certificate from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA.

Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, so taking this step already says a lot about your willingness to grow. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and patterns that can feel hard to break. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles or unsure why certain things keep coming up, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly the kind of work we can explore together.

Shelby Swanson

Therapist

Virtual • Santa Maria, CA


Reaching out for help can be a BIG deal and I am here to make therapy a space where you can grow, be challenged, and learn how to live a life YOU are happy with. Have you been feeling an increase in Anxiety? Are you a young adult trying to navigate the world and figuring out where you fit? How about someone experiencing substance misuse? These are the areas I get excited to help people manage. My goal is to help you gain the control you deserve to have over your own life.

Have you considered talking to someone but you’re not sure where to start? As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained in working with people and specialize in young adults, as well as treating co-occurring disorders. I believe individuals experiencing addiction are often times also managing mental health symptoms. I treat the WHOLE person.

I have over 10 years of experience working with both adults and youth. I'm licensed in California and have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California with six years of experience working with teens and adults. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego and hold a National Certified Counselor credential. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have spent a long time holding things together for others, managing responsibilities, and feeling stretched thin underneath. My work centers on slowing things down, noticing the patterns shaping their relationships and sense of self, and building toward change that feels grounded and sustainable.

Amanda Arana

Therapist

Virtual • California


I've been in private practice for 12 years and work with young adults aged18 - 30. I’ve always been interested in the way our experiences, relationships, beliefs, and thought patterns shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This interest led me to begin my career by working with an anti-human trafficking organization providing resources and aftercare services for rescued and recovered teen girls. I’ve also worked for local school districts as a high school special education crisis counselor and in-class behavior interventionist.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and continuing to learn about health and whole-person wellness.
