About Me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience as a therapist, wellness coach, and self-help author. I utilize a flexible therapy approach that combines empathy with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help individuals work through difficulties and feel more empowered and fulfilled in their daily lives. Although I work with many types of clients, both men and women, I have a specialty in women's issues, with particular expertise in the areas of health/wellness, self-care, adjustment to motherhood, depression, anxiety, stress management, body image, eating disorders, and weight loss.
In my work as a therapist, I value my clients' own goals and desires for counseling, while bringing my professional expertise, ideas, and strategies to the table.

Dr Tassava is amazing!!!
Very thorough And detailed.
Dr. Tassava has been incredible to work with. She is so kind and asks great questions. I always feel better after speaking with her! She is organized and provides structure to help me work through the goals I have for my own personal growth. I am super glad I connected with her!
I have worked with Dr. Tassava for over 2 years and I couldn't ask for a better therapist! She always validates my feelings and listens carefully to help me find the most positive and helpful solutions to life's problems. She is flexible and a great communicator. I would highly recommend her to any one looking for a kind, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist.
Dr. Shannon Tassava is a compassionate and caring counselor. She has helped me through some difficult transitions and I am blessed to have her support and encouragement.
Dr. Tassava is fantastic! During a time that is difficult for us all, she has been so supportive and validating of all the many emotions I have. We have talked about a variety of issues during a short time, and she has already helped me so much. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience that many could benefit from!
I feel that Dr. Tassava really understands my issues and is able to provide me with a variety of resources that help me with the particular methods I've chosen. I really am getting a lot out of this experience.
Dr. Tassava has been extremely helpful in giving me tools to understanding myself. I have had quick responses and feedback. I have hope that I can make some positive changes in my thinking.
Dr. Tassava is the best counselor I've ever had. She offers me real-life techniques and tools to handle my anxiety and stress. She has never once judged me for any of my issues and has honestly supported me through the most difficult time in my life. Over the past few months, with her support and guidance, I have been able to change my thinking, reacting and how I handle major anxiety and stress. I am so thankful for her. Not only has she changed my life for the better... honestly, she's saved my life.
So far I'm happy with the service. I've been using phone and messaging and am so happy with the help I've been getting. Dr Tassava is very kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and knows just where to meet me in my path to recovery.
Dr Tassava is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. She made it easy and low pressure to work on my anxiety.
She is positive and listens well.
I think Dr. Tassava has been a big part of my success in staying positive while going through medical challenges. I would have been lost without her guidance.
Dr. Tessava has been a great help. She understands my issues and provides the level of help I need, letting me think through and solve my problems myself. She also is very respectful of the way I have chosen to communicate with her.
She’s simply the best; better than all the rest! And I’m not just singing that.
Dr. Shannon is so wonderful. She really takes the time to understand who you are and what you need.
Dr. Tassava is extremely supportive and insightful. I feel like my issues are being addressed in a positive and tangible way. Thank you!
I think Dr. Tassava is wonderful. She is great with follow ups, gives pretty quick responses, informs me of changes to her availability, is patient and very understanding. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who needs counseling.
Dr. Tassava's insight was completely on point. She is encouraging, helpful, and open, helping me to unpack my issues and create actionable, attainable goals for myself (that she then supported). I had been putting off seeing a therapist for so long, and I'm so grateful for BetterHelp and Dr. Tassava for giving me an online platform to seek help on. I'm so much more comfortable with this :)
Dr. Tassava is amazing. For the first time in my life, I actually feel that I've found the help that I needed. She is very supportive and thoughtful. She actually really cares. I couldn't ask for a better therapist. She is the best.
Dr. Tassava has made such a huge difference in my life! She has been patient and gentle with me and very empathetic. All things I need to be able to trust and open up. I'm finally starting to feel that I'm on the right track and I have less bad days and more good ones thanks to her advice and amazing words. When I started reaching out to her, I was so high anxiety that I wasn't functioning in my every day life. I can function at work and at home and I feel like I will be ok thanks to her! She is an amazing counselor and I'm so thankful I was matched with her!
