Shanna Butler
As a somatic psychotherapist I lean into your strengths and meet you where you are to support discovering new ways of belonging to yourself and feeling more ease connecting with others. My presence is straightforward and warm and my approach is informed by relational somatic healing, attachment theory and a psychodynamic lens. I nurture an ongoing commitment to my healing journey and I hold therapeutic space that is influenced by my previous career supporting those experiencing marginalization due to structural inequality, war, and forced migration both locally and globally.
I work with individuals, parents, and youth ages 10-18. Some of my areas of focus include -major life transitions, anxiety, depression, anger, chronic illness/pain, intimacy and communication, sexual trauma, early childhood developmental trauma, issues stemming from oppression and privilege, codependency, shame, postpartum depression, and issues relating to parenting/motherhood/birthing people and spiritual growth. My practice is social justice informed and I am an LGBTQ+, kink, and gender queer-affirming therapist. Therapy is offered online or in person in the Mission district in San Francisco. Call the number below or email me to set up a 15-minute consultation for us to connect.
