Online Therapy for Women Over 40 in California
California women know their options. Here’s one worth considering.
One of the beautiful things about Cali is its diversity and the fact that therapy has been around a hot minute in The Golden State. As a result, maybe you’ve tried different apps, sound baths and a few different therapeutic modalities. And yet here you are – still looking – because something hasn’t quite clicked into place yet.
And I respect that because I don’t view that as a failure. I think it means you know yourself well enough to keep going until you find what actually fits.
I’m Shannan Blum, LMFT – California licensed with over 30 years of experience – and I specialize in the kind of deep, integrative work that goes beyond symptom management. I’m LGBTQ inclusive, grew up in the East Bay and spent 15 yrs in SoCal so I get the Cali vibe in all its varieties.
What I Help You Work Through
- Religious trauma and spiritual abuse recovery — including deconstruction from high-control or fundamentalist backgrounds
- Menopause, perimenopause, and the psychological dimensions of hormonal transition
- Major life transitions: divorce, empty nesting, identity reconstruction
- Somatic psychotherapy: body-mind healing that works great for virtual settings
- Inner child and attachment healing for patterns rooted in early emotional wounds
- Jungian depth psychology and tarot-assisted healing for women drawn to archetypal, soul-level work
Deep Work, Done Online
My approach is integrative and non-dogmatic – I pull from somatic, Jungian, and evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, inner child work) to build a path that’s specific to you, not a protocol. Sessions are fully virtual via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth, available to women from Rancho Cucamonga to Eureka and everywhere in between.
