Shannon O'Connell, LPC

It is my pleasure to increase behavioral health care accessibility through Talk Space. I have provided in person counseling for nearly nine years and have had the privilege of helping many different kinds of people with a wide variety of concerns. I consider it a privilege to join a person on their journey as they seek to improve themselves and their lives. The greatest compliment I receive as a therapist when someone has completed their treatment is not their expressions of gratitude; after all it is you the client who does the work; but rather that my client never once felt as if I were judging them.
