Shauna Figueroa

Shauna focuses on making people feel heard and accepted so they can begin to put feelings into words and find practical ways forward. She draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs.

Sessions often combine client-centered listening with clear tools from cognitive behavioral work and emotion-focused methods. Gottman Method practices are used when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, communication and commitment problems, and recovery from domestic violence. People who choose Shauna can expect a direct but warm approach.

She emphasizes simple language, active listening, and achievable steps you can use between sessions. Her style balances emotional understanding with practical strategies to improve daily life.

Shauna is committed to supporting underrepresented and marginalized people, including women of color affected by systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma. Her work aims to validate lived experience while helping clients build stronger coping skills and healthier relationships.
