About

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Shannon Murray.  I am a licensed clinical psychologist living and working in California.  As a clinical psychologist, my deepest passion lies in providing high-quality, culturally-informed clinical assessments for those who have too often been overlooked or underserved. I believe that a truly transformative therapeutic journey begins with being deeply seen and accurately understood.I know that navigating the mental healthcare system can feel daunting, especially when your unique lived experiences haven't always been represented or respected. That’s why I approach every evaluation with a blend of rigorous clinical expertise and genuine warmth. My goal isn't just to provide a diagnosis; it’s to partner with you to uncover the full picture of your strengths and challenges, ensuring you have the clarity and documentation you need to access the care you deserve.

Education & Licensure
Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Xavier University; Master of Arts from Xavier University; Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of the Pacific
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with neurodivergent adults lies in my career-long desire to highlight the strengths, resilience, and perseverance of individuals who have historically been underserved within the field of healthcare and undervalued by society.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize a strengths-based, client-centered approach to my clinical work to ensure that I am fully capturing the viewpoint of my client from their own unique lens.  I utilize an approach that includes active listening, validation of feelings, and space for clients to be their authentic selves.
