WOMEN ONLY! Welcome here. My name is Shahna Duerksen and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California. My work focuses on WOMEN ONLY; 18 years and older offering both tele-health (Ca. wide) and in-person (Fresno, Ca.) appointments for California residents.
Please contact me directly via email: [email protected] to see my scheduling availability as the scheduling calendar in the portal is sometimes not current!
As my focus is on Womens Issues I work with WOMEN ONLY, 18 years and older struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, relationships distress, personal self-development and need of a deeper connection and understanding of yourself, Undiagnosed Adult ADHD symptoms or initial basic screening and recommendations for ADHD Diagnosis, Betrayal Trauma due to infidelity or sexual addictive behaviors of their partner, adoptive mothers.
As women we often give out of an empty cup putting ourselves last and end up at times with our cup empty. I invite you to pour back into your cup by making yourself a priority today.
I also offer Therapy for therapist. As a fellow therapist I offer you a supportive, confidential and empathetic space from a peer who “gets it”. For those mental health providers in-training and those with years of experience this is your dedicated time to step away from the role of the caregiver and focus on your own well-being and healing. Focusing on your unique demands and challenges of a mental health provider managing professional and personal emotional fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, boundaries, imposter syndrome and self-care needs.
Therapy for therapist, therapy for you. This is your time to process your professional and personal experiences, set healthy boundaries, and focus on self-care, so you can continue your meaningful work from a place of renewed strength. Reach out for a free consultation or Contact me to learn more.
My goal for you is that you will feel seen, heard, supported and safe. In collaboration with you the client, I ask what top goals you have for pursuing therapy and then we go about together in collaboration setting small, manageable, reachable steps to reach those goals; Ex: symptom management and reduction, Learn/improve coping, Improve functioning, Behavioral modification, Skill acquisition, Improved interpersonal communication and relationships and more. Email me for scheduling availability.
