Inner Expansions Therapy Services is a group of mental health therapists based on the Central Coast of California. Shannon Cantillano, LCSW, is the owner, clinical director, an EMDR Certified Therapist, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and an IFS Level 1 trained facilitator. The clinical team includes licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed clinical social workers, and associates, several of whom are EMDR trained, Gottman trained, Theraplay trained, or SandTray trained. Some clinicians offer sessions in Spanish as well as English, and several see children and adults.

The practice describes its approach as evidence-based and trauma-informed, with sessions tailored to each client rather than delivered from a fixed formula. Work centers on understanding the root cause of a client's struggles and building long-lasting strategies, and the practice states that no two individuals are the same. Beyond client care, the practice mentors and trains the next generation of therapists, helping them develop clinical skills.

The office sits on El Camino Real, about a tenth of a mile from the road itself and a short distance from the interchange of the same name. Atascadero Fire Station 2 is roughly two-tenths of a mile away, Santa Rosa Academic Academy about half a mile, and both Chalk Mountain Golf Course and Heilmann Regional Park around six-tenths of a mile from the practice.

With a team trained in EMDR, Gottman, Theraplay, and SandTray methods, and with bilingual clinicians on staff, Inner Expansions Therapy Services brings a broad range of therapeutic specialties to clients in Atascadero and the surrounding Central Coast.
