We realize the importance of developing a supportive therapy relationship based in trust, mutual respect, and clear understanding of your unique background, values,and needs. At the Cognitive Therapy Institute, we work with you to identify goals and to develop a plan for reaching your goals in a sensible and effective way. Often our clients experience increased confidence and success in a relatively short time, largely because we offer clear guidance and techniques using the latest Cognitive Behavioral Treatments. You learn skills and strategies to resolve current difficulties and to enjoy a good quality of life in the years ahead. View 4 Photos We specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), proven effective in overcoming panic, anxiety, depression... and in reaching personal and career goals. CBT is active, focused, and practical. We offer a supportive relationship but go far beyond simply "talking about your problems". You will receive clear guidance and develop important life skills. Many therapists claim to offer CBT but have had little training in this approach. Dr. Shenk is certified by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, www.academyofct.org, and has years of advanced training. We offer proven treatments, with very good success rates, for panic, anxiety, OCD, and many other conditions.

My approach is highly collaborative with goals of improving insight and awareness of self-defeating patterns to allow for meaningful shifts in how clients relate to others, behave in the world and feel about themselves. I am passionate about healing attachment and relational issues and also specialize in treating eating disorders as a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. I work with anxiety, depression and difficulties in coping as well. I believe in integrative health and, when appropriate, encourage clients to create a team of collaborating professionals to assist them in reaching their personal and health goals. Depending on client needs, I use several therapeutic modalities and work with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and groups. I offer a supportive environment for change through authentic warmth and compassion. I am also gently and respectfully challenging and direct. I am licensed in both California and Hawaii. I am a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider and have been providing telehealth in my practice since 2017. I am happy to answer questions about my treatment philosophy and approach. Please contact me to learn more. www.hawleywinter.com

I specialize in addiction/dual diagnosis, but treat various mental health problems as well (depression, anxiety, relationship problems, etc.). I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a psychodynamic approach, but I alter treatment depending on your needs. Feeling stagnant as well as drug and alcohol concerns are often a result of deeper struggles such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and obstacles in your daily life. If you are feeling stuck and are grappling with how to move forward I can help guide you through it. *Please say your name when prompted when you call, otherwise your call will not go through.* Additionally, I am trained in helping concerned significant others (CSOs) of individuals who are wrestling with addictions. I discuss/ teach empirically supported behavioral techniques to family members in order to increase their loves one's motivation to get better. Instead of detaching, I remind CSOs that their love is essential and has power to help. Feel free to call or email me and see if we are a good fit!

It is my mission to create a safe and confidential environment in which people can develop greater trust, compassion, clarity, and choice so that they may live with greater meaning, awareness and peace of mind. You can expect to feel safe and not judged, listened to, validated, respected, and challenged to grow with honest feedback, information, and homework. You can also expect to have your successes and deepening sense of personal power celebrated. In addition to in-office meetings, I offer remote Tele-Wellness sessions within California and internationally. I've found that change/transition often pushes us into unknown territory and tickles at anything unresolved - a type of distress that often brings people into therapy. What they discover in the process is that their unique paths are rich with discovery and the potential for healing, growth, and change. Areas of specialty include: 1) univ students - particularly study abroad programs, 2) creatives/artists exploring blocks to bloom into potential, 3) couples/pre-marital assessments to address communication styles, conflict resolution tools, relationship visions, and developing the quality of curiosity between lovers that keeps them growing & discovering.

If you've found me here then you must be gearing up to make some changes in your life. Maybe you're worrying too much and happy too little. Maybe you're feeling lost, hopeless, or in a rut. Wherever you are, you've decided you want to feel better and be better, and you've shown the courage to ask for support. What a wonderful thing. My work with you will be collaborative, caring, and non-judgmental. I will help you reconnect to your inner-resources and strengths, to build new coping skills and problem-solving strategies, and to then apply those new ways of "being" in order to live a life that feels fulfilling and joyful to you. In addition to my diverse training and clinical experience, my specialty is in supporting men of all ages in cultivating courage, conquering anxiety, and living a life that they can be proud of. My other passion is supporting teens and their families in addressing the challenges that may arise during adolescence...as these can be tricky times. Making the decision to seek therapy is an investment in your future, and I aim to make that investment a valuable one to you. You and I will create a plan tailored specifically to your needs, one that will address your goals and lift you up to where you want to be. You no longer have to deal with this alone.
