About Oksana Shiell

I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, practicing since 2011 and serving as a clinical supervisor since 2017. I bring many years of experience—both pre-licensed and post-licensed—working with teens and supporting individuals and families through a variety of challenges.
My areas of focus include stress and anxiety, parenting issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I approach therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I believe in tailoring our conversations and treatment plan to fit your unique needs and goals.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life takes courage. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

“I am so grateful to have Oksana during a very transitional time of my life: The emotional and physical roller coaster of perimenopause, the passing of a close friend, the disintegration of close relationships, challenges of running a business, etc. She pushes me when I ask and need her to, to get out of my comfort zone and think outside the box. Thank you, Oksana and BetterHelp!”

“Oksana is a very good listener. She actively engages and I feel heard. If she doesn't understand something, she asks for clarification. This ensures that, to me, she is showing that she is really trying to understand my perspective. She balances active listening with providing advice when it's needed. She is not pushy at all, and I love that.”
