Shanna Dew

I am a holistic therapist based in Oakland, California, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I offer therapeutic techniques that address both the mind and body. My practice integrates advanced training in Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and expressive arts therapy. My goal is to soothe your nervous system and get your best self back online. With a background in teaching yoga and Women’s and Gender studies, I strive to bring humility, curiosity, wisdom and humor into the clinical hour. For teens, I focus on issues such as anxiety, bullying, breakups, self-esteem, ADHD, and the complex emotions that accompany adolescence. I have worked with teens for 12 years and enjoy offering a supportive space where they can discover their inner resilience, values, self-compassion, and navigate life’s challenges within empathetic setting.
