Therapy that feels

like a warm cup of coffee 

Warm, comforting and energetic

Anxiety is exhausting

While it comes and goes, the constant pressure to keep it under control takes a toll. Worrying, restlessness, panic — you feel like you’re going crazy. You think that no one can relate to how you’re feeling, so you keep it to yourself. When you have opened up, you may have even been told by well meaning loved ones things like:

It’s not a big deal

Stop stressing about it!

You’re being over dramatic

So you hide your emotions and people think you’re fine, but you never feel like you're good enough. So you push and push to be better but never feel satisfied.

This is not the life you want anymore!

You want to feel more at peace

You’re tired of feeling ashamed and alone

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here

I’m Shannon McInchak (she/her), LMSW.

I’ve been a therapist for the last 10 years and opened my private practice, Mindful Connections, in 2020.

You might be wondering if therapy is right for you. You’ve probably been dealing with these feelings for a long time and they fluctuate, depending on the amount of stress in your life.

You don’t have to wait to hit a breaking point to see a therapist

Therapy is a place for you to talk freely about the stress in your life. Relationship problems, family conflict, self doubt, work stress — these are issues I work with regularly and would love to help you sort out. While you probably already have a basic understanding of how these problems cause you distress, you may be surprised at how much you haven’t considered. Therapy can help you reveal the underlying sources of your pain. Often it’s learned behaviors to adapt to a stressful environment.

I decided to start my own practice because I wanted to have more freedom in my work. I wanted to be able to help people that were a good fit for my skills and personality. I have found that I really enjoy working with people long term and at a slower pace, so I keep my caseload relatively small (about 15 clients a week).
