Getting to know Shannon Ganley

Major life transitions can introduce unexpected anxiety. I support individuals and couples who are navigating postpartum, early parenthood, or grappling with the possibility of becoming parents. You may be facing infertility, coping with perinatal depression, or processing feelings around pregnancy termination. You may recognize that your sexual orientation doesn't fit with traditional examples of parenthood, or you may be questioning if you want to be a parent at all. This chapter can come with uncertainty, anxiety, or conflict. I work to foster a safe environment where we can work through these difficulties together.

You may be facing infertility, coping with perinatal depression, or processing feelings around pregnancy termination. You may recognize that your sexual orientation doesn't fit with traditional examples of parenthood, or you may be questioning if you want to be a parent at all. This chapter can come with uncertainty, anxiety, or conflict. I work to foster a safe environment where we can work through these difficulties together. I will hold space for all the thoughts, feelings, and experiences you have been afraid to say out loud. My approach blends relational, narrative, and mindfulness practices to help you understand your parental identity, current or future family goals, and related life transitions. We will work to bring your authentic self into your roles and relationships. When you find yourself saying “I never imagined it would be like this,” I'm here for support. Though my clients are often figuring out their place in parenthood, we also address parallel and related stressors. Together, we’ll deconstruct old expectations and foster empowerment and excitement for the next chapter in your story.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have advanced certifications in LGBTQ identity, health, and services. I foster a therapy space that is safe and inclusive for all.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We'll examine where your assumptions came from, assess whether they support your current goals and needs, and strengthen your coping tools for this new landscape.
