Therapy that feels
like a cup of coffee
Warm, comforting and energetic
I’m Shannon McInchak, LMSW (she/her)
I’m a clinical social worker fully licensed to practice in Michigan. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and relationship issues. My ideal clients are struggling with anxiety and perfectionism, often contributing to poor self esteem and relationship issues. There are often past experiences of trauma and/or complicated family dynamics that contribute to their anxiety.
I’m particularly passionate about the effects that gender norms and expectations have on mental health. I also enjoy working with other helping professionals, as I can relate to the struggle of navigating systemic issues, boundaries and maintaining hope and enthusiasm.
I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist and I love my job. My preferred modalities are a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
If you’re craving therapy with a personal touch, I encourage you to reach out to me. I would love to hear from you and I’m happy to answer any questions you have about therapy and if it’s right for you.

Meet your Therapist
I decided to start my therapy practice because I cared about providing good therapy. I knew I could only provide good therapy if I was taken care of.
Unfortunately, too many mental health and healthcare practices are more concerned with generating revenue than they are about the clients or the providers. Working in non profits, community mental health, and primary care always ended up the same for me – too many clients, little time to work with them, and feeling frustrated and tired. Many agencies expect therapists to work with any client that walks through the door, often expecting therapists to see 7 - 10 clients daily. There's little emphasis on good fit and more on productivity.
Opening my own therapy practice has allowed me to have the freedom and flexibility to do great work. I really enjoy working with people long term and at a slower pace. I like to build relationships with my clients based on mutual trust, safety and respect. I'm not in this to maximize profit, so I work part time and keep my caseload relatively small. I prefer to do fulfilling work, while maximizing my free time for other meaningful pursuits.
