The belief that no matter where your journey begins, you have the power to change the outcome, is the foundation of Honest Healing Therapeutic Services. This guiding principle is deeply rooted in the personal and professional story of its founder, Mrs. Shanette Izadi.

Born and raised in Pasadena, California, Shanette graduated from Pasadena High School before moving to Marshall, Texas, to attend college. After just one year, she faced a challenging period marked by low self-esteem, self-doubt, and a negative internal narrative. Shanette made the difficult decision to leave college and return to her family’s home, where she struggled with the pressures of living in difficult circumstances and facing societal stereotypes.

However, after three years of hardship, Shanette turned to faith and therapy, seeking guidance and support. She made a firm decision to break free from the constraints of her past. Enrolling in College of the Canyons, she earned two associate degrees, then went on to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from California State University Northridge. Shanette later pursued and completed her Master of Social Work at California State University Bakersfield, graduating with honors and a 4.0 GPA.

Today, Shanette is a licensed Clinical Social Worker, a dedicated wife, and a proud mother. She founded Honest Healing Therapeutic Services to help others navigate their struggles and to offer a safe, compassionate space for those dealing with mental health challenges. With a passion for empowering individuals, Shanette is committed to providing honest, empathetic care, guiding clients on their path to healing and growth.
