Shelly Sonner LMFT # 152780
At A Place to Turn, we are honored to welcome Shelly Sonner, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to our clinical team. Shelly brings not only years of experience but also a grounded, compassionate, and holistic approach to the therapy room.
If you've ever found yourself feeling overwhelmed by life’s unexpected twists—like you're just trying to stay afloat—Shelly is here to walk alongside you with warmth and steady guidance. Her work supports children, adolescents, young adults, and couples in rediscovering peace, clarity, and emotional balance.
Shelly’s therapeutic style integrates evidence-based and expressive modalities, with a special focus on Sand Tray Therapy—a powerful tool that allows symbolic exploration of emotions and experiences. This hands-on approach often brings unconscious patterns to light, promoting deeper healing and transformation. In addition to Sand Tray, Shelly uses mindfulness-based, strength-focused, and trauma-informed practices to help clients reshape distressing thoughts and emotions.
With her intuitive insight and empathetic presence, Shelly creates a safe, accepting environment where healing and personal growth unfold naturally. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or self-discovery, she is here to support your journey with grace, authenticity, and care.
Now accepting new clients in-person and via telehealth. Serving clients from our Westlake Village and virtual offices.

From anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we utilize holistic talk therapies and innovative treatments like eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
