About

I carry a diverse caseload of adults, young adults, and teens (18+) with an emphasis on working with clients who are parents or caregivers of, siblings of, and people with developmental disabilities. I have been working with families who have children with unique needs for 15 years as both an advocate and a therapist. I believe in helping people to problem-solve and create opportunities for themselves. I do have a trained therapy dog in the office. Her name is Stella and she is a medium sized dog at 60lbs-you can see her photo below! I also offer Clay Therapy Groups on Mondays at Local Pottery Studio and Gallery in Norwell, MA. Groups are private pay only, they are not covered by insurance. You can find out more by copying and pasting this link: https://www.shannatownleylmhcllc.com/
