Online Counseling Across California

Collin McShirley, MA, LMFT

It is my intention to meet you where you are, with my full presence and experience, honoring your inherent wisdom and all that has brought you to this place. Taking steps to create a more fulfilling life may be one of the most profound actions one can undertake. I have over 10 years of counseling experience and specialize in working with anxiety. I use CBT, and client-centered therapy to help you reach your goals. I have a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I believe that walking this path requires developing a curious and accepting relationship with oneself as well as being witnessed and supported by another – be they a therapist, partner, friend, or family member. I am committed to valuing your strengths, being a companion in your struggles, and supporting you in deepening your relationship with yourself and others.

Client Testimonials

I have only had a short time of therapy with Collin, and it has been great. She has helped me in so many ways, and all of the advice she has given me will stick with me for a long time. I would recommend her to anyone, she’s easy to talk to, and a great listener.

I have been working with Collin for a few months now and I’ve had a great experience. She helps me work through issues of anxiety, depression, work-related difficulties, and relationships with empathy and an open mind. I feel confident in my ability to make progress in my life with Collin as a resource.

-HC

She listens great and I feel asks me thoughtful questions that make me think and help me to understand myself more. And gives me a different way of looking at this.

-JO

I’ve been working with Collin McShirley for a few months now. I was incredibly stressed with how my life was moving and with several of my relationships in life. I found McShirley to listen and provide advice for ways to handle my stress as well as work on how I felt and wanted to proceed with these relationships. She has been kind and responsive to what I share.

-CV

She has helped me immensely with my self-esteem. I no longer feel like I’m not good enough and feel better about myself.

-JA

Collin has been very helpful in my first few weeks using better health. Sessions seem to fly by because I value everything she says and it has made me think about things I’ve never examined about myself. I recommend her completely to anyone seeking better ways to control your thoughts and reevaluate habits for better mental health. She’s also extremely kind and clearly cares about what she is doing.
