Shawn Hackett, LCSW
Focus Area: Clinical Social Work
Licensed in: California
I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive support and practical feedback—my treatment approach centers on resolving current challenges and addressing longstanding patterns. A cornerstone of my practice is prioritizing the establishment of a strong rapport with my clients, where active listening is combined with supportive feedback and validation. Specializing in treating anxiety and depression, I utilize a combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, guiding clients to discover beneficial coping skills and strategies. During sessions, I foster a collaborative exploration of thoughts, feelings, motivations, coping skills, and expectations about life, promoting a holistic approach to healing and growth.
About Me
In recognizing the unique challenges women face, I provide a welcoming space for them to explore their emotions. Acknowledging Adjustment Disorder’s profound impact on daily life, my approach focuses on guiding individuals through these changes. Understanding the complexities of balancing personal, professional, and familial responsibilities and the accompanying stressors allows me to address specific needs. The aim is to empower individuals to build grit, resilience, and balance, enabling them to be their best selves. If you are ready to embrace change and find balance, let’s work together to navigate your journey toward healing and empowerment. Feel free to contact me, and we can start a conversation about tailoring a therapy plan that meets your unique needs and fosters your personal growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
How much will my appointment cost?

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
