I specialize in treating anxiety in its many forms—panic, phobias, trauma-related distress, and the persistent worries that interfere with daily life. My practice welcomes adults, adolescents, and older adults across all identities and abilities. I offer a grounded, inclusive space where clients can safely explore the roots of their anxiety and develop practical tools for emotional regulation. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, I help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns and restore a sense of calm, clarity, and resilience.

Therapist

As a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My journey deeply enriches my perspective: I immigrated to the USA more than 25 years ago and have since had the privilege of working with diverse communities across Ecuador, Guatemala, and the USA.

My early professional life focused on economic justice in Ecuador and microfinance with Indigenous women in Guatemala. For the last 15 years, I've served in the child welfare system as a Child Protective Social Worker, where I've had the honor of collaborating with clients to support better changes for children, families, and communities.

Therapist

What should your client know about you?

Hello and welcome! My name is Shannon Merritt and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). I am based in Southern California and offer telehealth services to clients across the state. My expertise includes supporting individuals through life transitions, managing depression and anxiety, coping with loss, and addressing various mental health challenges. I am also passionate about helping people recover from addiction and/or trauma.

What is your approach to therapy?

I draw from various modalities and tailor my approach to each individual and their specific needs. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel at ease, can build resilience, and ultimately thrive. My communication style is straightforward, calm, and approachable. I offer clear and honest feedback in order to foster clients' wellbeing while developing hope for their future.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Clients can expect to develop valuable insight and gain the tools needed to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Paul Kalkin

Therapist

Virtual • California


I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
