Shanan Arslanian MSW, CSW

Hi, I’m Shanan!

As a certified social worker, my mission is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental
space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. Each
person’s story is unique, and I tailor my approach to each client’s specific needs, values, and
goals.
I work with all ages, with a focus on adolescents and teens ages 12-18, women who have
experienced trauma, and breast cancer patients, survivors, and their families. As a breast cancer
survivor, I recognize the trauma and emotions caused by cancer. In addition to evidence-based
approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I incorporate music,
poetry, and art into the therapeutic process to help clients access deeper layers of self-awareness
and healing.
Beyond being a therapist, I am a musician and a member of the Southwest Symphony Orchestra.
I enjoy creative pursuits, exploring new places, watching movies, and laughing with friends and
family.
