        General Info
        Shannon Lerach was born and raised in San Diego, California, and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of San Diego with Majors in Interdisciplinary Humanities and Philosophy, and a Minor in Psychology. She then received her Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology graduating Magna Cum Laude from the California School of Professional Psychology and became a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. Shannon has spent her professional career working for a variety of county, non-profit and charitable organizations, including Kearny Mesa Juvenile Hall, Juvenile Forensic Services, The Chadwick Center for Children and Families at Rady’s Children’s Hospital, and the Fred Finch Youth Center. Her professional career has focused on serving the underserved and disenfranchised, and she has specialized in working with children and adolescents and their families who have experienced abuse and trauma. Most recently, Shannon spent a year dedicating her time and energy working in Liberia, a war-torn country that is still recovering from a 14-year civil war that ended in 2003, providing trauma-focused therapy to women who had experienced sexual violence, children, and former child soldiers and ex-combatants. In 2012, Shannon returned to her hometown of Solana Beach to live and open up a private practice, where she works as a trauma-specialist working with children, adolescents, adults and families utilizing therapeutic approaches including Child-Centered Play Therapy, Attachment-based therapies, family-systems theory, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDRIA Certified), Mindfulness and parental coaching. Shannon will officially receive her Registered Play Therapist Certification in December 2014 through the University of California, San Diego.

        Professional yes, and also very warm creating a safe friendly environment where real progress can be made. Having been in and out of counseling for 45 years, I had made little or no progress. When I started going to Shannon Lerach I made progress unknown in my life. She knows how to engage and talk to and with, not talk at you. All the degrees in the world do not make a good therapist. It's the caring, empathy and understanding that makes a great therapist. For the first time in 45 years, I am doing great!

        A Professional that really cares.

        I have been in counseling on and off for 45 years. It was not until I started going to Shannon Learch that I started to see and feel real progress in my life. Her knowledge and practice of EMDR has changed my life for the better, much better. I don't put comments like this out there lightly. After years of little or no progress, I am very thankful to have found Shannon and to have made giant leaps in my overall well being finally realizing peace and serenity in my life.
