Very approachable and comfortable to talk to even on video visit. I just cold contacted during the pandemic and was very pleasantly surprised. I had quite a few therapists in the past to compare to. I highly recommend giving a try. I’m making good progress with this therapy and will continue!

More about Shannon McLaughlin, LCSW

If you feel stuck, spinning your wheels, my role as a counselor is to help find the traction needed to get you moving again. As a compassionate, non-judgmental active listener we will work together to get you back on track. Through years of experience as a counselor in substance abuse treatment programs, a hospice inpatient unit and a HIV day program I work with people and their loved ones facing chronic and terminal illnesses. Also work with people managing emotional pain and loss due to substance use and the consequences of angry outbursts. I grew up in laid-back, progressive Northern California. Lived and taught overseas on different continents for over a decade. And now practice as a therapist in the NYC metro area. With this background I have a unique blend of warm, mellow, accepting, understanding of cultural and religious differences but with a dash of “fugetaboutit” to keep us honest in our therapeutic work together. This career allows me to disguise my passion for learning as professional development but I love attending classes, lectures, workshops and conferences. Beyond my clinical social work degree, I spent a year studying Gestalt therapy techniques to help clients access and communicate their emotions. Through additional training I am a certified Anger Management Specialist. I trained at the LGBT Community Center in Manhattan for informed therapy within this community. I relish every opportunity to attend any event that furthers my knowledge to work with people get “unstuck” and through pain and trauma. Prior, I spent 20 years teaching middle school. Lessons learned from working with adolescents and their families continue to influence my current work. My ease with anger management techniques stems from the drama that is middle school politics.
