As a Clinical Social Worker who is licensed in California, I have offered professional support to female military veterans who endorse symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, trauma, intimacy related issues, anger, and depression. Through individual and group interactions I build a professional relationship with my clients while we work together to identify and move toward their goals.
I am part of a military and first responder family, and offer a safe space for you to tell your own story, gain insight into the "whys," and tap into the strength within you. Reach out today and let's try to lighten the weight on your shoulders.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, First responder issues, Isolation / loneliness, Veteran and Armed Forces Issues, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Sexual assault and abuse, Sexuality, Women's issues

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shanden Brutsch. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Though I am known to leave reviews from time to time, it still isn’t a whole hell of a lot, nor is it consistent. However, when it comes to Shanden, I will always leave a resounding review of her professionalism, empathy, genuine concern, and excellent skills with helping me. Through her consistent behavior and ability to help me see things that I am not seeing on my own, we have seen some major breakthroughs while working together. I am extremely grateful to have her as my therapist and recommend her to the highest degree.

She’s been amazing and played such a big role in supporting me through everything I have going on and I would definitely recommend her 10 times over again.
