SHANNON D. MURRAY
Marriage and Family Therapist

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Santa Barbara, California.

My professional background spans several disciplines. I began with a degree in Art and Architectural History, earned a Master’s in Environmental Science, and later completed a Master’s in Clinical Psychology. While these fields may appear unrelated at first glance, each has deepened my perspective and enriched my ability to support clients in meaningful ways. This diverse foundation has enabled me to approach therapy with a broader appreciation of the complexity of our human experience.

In my practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I find people who come into therapy often feel stuck — in their relationships, in their work, or just with themselves. Getting underneath the superficial day-to-day often gives people more clarity so they can start to feel more like their authentic selves. And when that starts to happen, real change isn’t just possible --- it starts to feel natural.
