Fanshen Thompson (LCSW)

I am licensed in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping individuals and couples with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence, but mostly I help people to clear the emotional muck that builds up over the years so that they can more clearly see who they authentically are and live from that place. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with one another, while also clearing the muck that has built up in the relationship over the years. Let’s work together so you can see more clearly! Because everyone’s issues are unique, the pace, intensity, and details of clearing that muck are also unique. It starts with a collaborative and trusting relationship with your therapist. Feeling like you can be authentic and honestly share your thoughts and feelings is critical to making progress. But it’s not just sharing or talking. Therapy is also work. In addition to feeling, noticing, and recognizing what is under the muck, therapy is about taking small but meaningful steps toward the change you want. While, finally, showing yourself the compassion to heal. I look forward to supporting you in that healing.
