Shauna Hoffman has been a Marriage Therapist and Family Therapist in Valencia, Newhall and the Santa Clarita Valley for 15 years.
Shauna dedicates her Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy to helping men, women and children deal with past pain, become more aware of how they communicate with each other, the choices they make, where these choices REALLY come from and how these choices effect every aspect of their life! Ms. Hoffman is nationally known through her website workingonme.com where she takes her "Me Club" members through a series of videos on a search for self awareness.
Shauna offers Marriage Counseling and Family Therapy in Valencia, Newhall and the Santa Clarita Valley in the following ways:
*Couple's Counseling and Marriage Therapy- Are you communicating with each other? Is money or job stress affecting your marriage? Do you still have fun together? Is your sex life still alive? Do you still care about your partner's happiness? Are you both starting to feel like you are growing apart? Are you contemplating Divorce, yet have never tried therapy? Give it a chance. Marriage Counseling can help! Shauna works from a Family Systems perspective and often will see the clients both individually and as a couple.
*Family Counseling- Are there parenting challenges? Children acting out? Blended Family issues? Do you speak the same language as your teen? Are there issues of disrespect, anger, and drugs? Getting help from a Family Therapist can make a difference! Ms. Hoffman works with both the Teen on an individual basis and with the family as a whole. You CAN find the happiness as a family again!
*Women’s Groups and Individual Counseling- Do you know who you are versus what other people want you to be? Do you always put other people's needs before your own to the detriment of your happiness or your health? Are you going through a divorce and having a hard time finding your new identity? Do you feel depression or low self esteem? Are you finally feeling its time for YOU? Is it YOUR TURN?
*Grief Counseling- Have you recently lost a loved one and feel moments of depression or questioning life? Are there moments of loneliness that get to be too hard to handle? Has the passing of a loved one redirected your life's path? You are not alone.
*Pet Grief Therapy- One of the most difficult times in a pet lover's life is the time we have to say goodbye. Sometimes there is the decision to make for or against euthanasia, that seems like the most heartbreaking task. Often those around you do not undertstand your pain and sadness. I offer both individual therapy and group therapy to help you find the tools you need to grieve and the tools you need to heal.
*Film Industry Marriage and Family Counseling - Families with a member involved in the Film and Television Industry tend to have a separate set of challenges. With one family gone from the home for long periods of time, or working very long hours, the stress that the family feels can be extraordinary. Often there are parenting issues that arrive, jealousy issues, perpetual unemployment concerns, and differences in creative outlets. Working with a Therapist that specializes in FILM INDUSTRY issues can be your answer. Ms. Hoffman has specialized in Film Industry Marriage and Family Issues in the SCV since 1995.
