Seeking a therapist?
Hey! I am so glad you’ve come across my website.
My name is Shaileen and I am a 2nd gen Mexican-American woman living in sunny Southern California. As a therapist, I meet with individuals across California and the US. (For a full list of the states I am licensed in, see below!)
For evaluations, I also serve individuals in the same states – but I may ask to meet the whole family so I can get lots of valuable information!
Tambien hablo español y Spanglish.
who do i work with?
Most of the time I work with:
- adults (18-65) who are stressed out, don’t feel like they used to, anxious, depressed, or are dealing with big life changes or obstacles
- perinatal mothers (from those considering parenthood to 1 year after birthing)
- people who have, or wonder if they have ADHD
But overall, many of the clients that choose to work with me are just looking for a therapist who understands “real life” and has a relaxed style.
*Sometimes in sessions, I may use or share online resources, or I may pull from a book if I think it could be helpful. My priority though is to stay grounded in a perspective that takes into account your whole person and the systems around you.
Essentials at MCFS
Availability
Accessibility is highly important to me so I intentionally offer a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends. I do my best to accommodate last minute changes in the event of an emergency.
Chill Vibe
Life doesn't stop! I understand if you need to fit our session in during your lunch, dinner, or other breaks. If you need to have your baby with you during session that is also okay with me - as long as it's okay with you.
Consent
I strive to meet you where you are at, holding space for safe, heart-to-heart conversations. We talk about what safety means in our intake session so you know my approach to safety x mandated reporting from the get-go.
Feedback Informed
As we work together, I try to check in with you about your continuing experience in therapy with me. This is so I can discuss what is working for you and what I could change or add to make it more productive.
