Meet Shanna Kotin, MA, LMFT
I'm Shanna Kotin, MA, LMFT, a licensed therapist and former UX researcher who understands what it's like to navigate demanding systems and shifting identities.

The Meaning Behind Chapter & Thyme
Chapter
Symbolizes a new phase in life — moments of growth, change, or self-discovery that can feel both exciting and uncertain. Every chapter matters and deserves thoughtful attention.
Thyme
A play on words for "time" — the time it takes to heal, process, and figure things out. It also nods to the herb, connecting to grounded ness, nature, and holistic well-being. Thyme represents resilience, healing, and growth.
Together
Chapter & Thyme represents the balance between change and stillness — creating a calm, grounded environment where clients can find clarity and steadiness during times of transition.
