Therapy With Shannon Bernsten

Finding your way, together. 

At some point, we all find ourselves stuck- unsure of how to move forward, weighed down by past experiences, or longing for deeper connection. You might be carrying pain that feels too big, emotions that feel too messy, or patterns that feel impossible to break.

Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to navigate it alone. In our work together, I’ll offer a space where you can show up as you are- without judgement or pressure to have it all figured out.

Together, we can explore your story with curiosity and compassion. Therapy isn’t about fixing you- it’s about giving you space to be human. To make sense of your experiences, to untangle what’s been weighing you down, and move through life with more clarity and self-compassion.

FAQs

  • It is hard to predict how long our work together will last as it depends on your individual goals. Throughout our work together we will revisit your goals to ensure you are making the progress you hope to see.

  • I believe therapy is most beneficial when there is consistency, so I aim to meet with clients weekly. My policy is to meet weekly during the initial assessment period in order to establish trust and a good rapport. In some cases I am open to checking in after the initial assessment period to determine if an alternative cadence is appropriate.

  • My rate varies based on configuration of therapy, and session length. My full fee for 50 minute individual therapy is $180. My full fee for 50 minute relationship therapy is $225, and my full fee for 75 minute relationship therapy is $335. My full fee for 50 minute adolescent therapy is $200.

    I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. If paying my full fee makes therapy inaccessible, please inquire about a reduced rate.

    I am considered an out-of-network provider, and do not accept insurance directly. I can provide a monthly super bill that some insurance providers will accept for full or partial reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly for more information about your reimbursement eligibility.

  • I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you miss your appointment, cancel or change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged the full session fee.

  • Yes. I see clients in-person in Oakland and San Francisco, and virtually across California .
