Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi, I’m Shon Oren, an EMDR trauma therapist and couples’ therapist whose approach is warm, relational, and deeply attuned. I offer both long term weekly psychotherapy as well as short-term condensed sessions as an adjunctive treatment for those already working with a primary therapist. Working with individuals, I help clients experience shifts in relation to their past by processing patterns that no longer serve.
With couples and other relationship structures, I base my work on the principles humanistic psychotherapy and nonviolent communication, in which I have received extensive training. This allows people to deepen their connection and sense of choice—even when having difficult, vulnerable conversations. In my experience, people can always experience connection, understanding, mutuality—even when they choose to walk different paths—provided that there are enough willingness and time. Part of my work with couples includes bridging gaps in cases of conflict or divorce—so that everyone can get their needs met.
I have both witnessed and experienced the extraordinary capacity that humans have for change. I trust that, with enough support, we can all transform deep suffering into wisdom. After our sessions, I have heard clients tell me that they feel a sense of relief from the past — and to build a new life. I see clients Thursday through Monday, and have limited evening availability.
