About
Congratulations on taking this step in your journey toward healing and well-being! My name is Shannon (pronouns: she/they), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, the US Virgin Islands, and Iowa. I have spent the last 15 years working with individuals & families, high-needs young adults, alternative learners, people experiencing incarceration, medical professionals, new parents and care-givers, and a wide array of individuals during various life stages and changes. I have extensive experience treating trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression, as well as gender-affirming and sex-positive treatment. As an LCSW I have a laid-back and supportive style, leading with trauma-informed care and an anti-oppressive framework allowing me to focus on genuine respect, dignity, understanding, and professionalism. I view clients as the expert in their own lives, and tailor treatment according to individual needs, allowing us to build a collaborative relationship. I look forward to meeting with you and learning more about your history, personal goals, and how I can be of support to you while you navigate this period of your life. I am more than happy to schedule a meet-and-greet session (aka a free 15-minute consultation), to determine if we are an ideal match and gather more information about how I can support you! Credentials & Experience: I have over 14 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families in crisis and/or experiencing significant life changes. I am licensed in both NY and the US Virgin Islands, and hold additional certifications in trauma-informed care, grief, and mindfulness.
"I tend to use a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques in treatment. Together we'll explore what brought you to therapy, and look at how your thoughts affect your emotions, relationships, and life experiences. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
