Almog Shanun

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Monrovia, CA


  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Oakland

Finding the right OCD therapist in Oakland starts with understanding the type of care that works best for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is a commonly used therapeutic approach that some providers use when supporting people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. A licensed provider trained in ERP can help you work through intrusive thoughts and compulsive patterns in a structured, supportive way. Some people also benefit from working with a psychiatrist who can provide medication management alongside therapy.

With many mental health providers practicing across Oakland, Berkeley, and the broader East Bay, narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who focuses specifically on OCD, someone who offers both virtual and in-person sessions, or a therapist whose style and background feel like a good match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a clearer sense of their approach and whether they're the right fit.

Therapy in the Bay Area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who is both clinically qualified and covered by your plan.
