My name is Shannon Lopynski, an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor.

Driven by a deep curiosity of mental health and a desire to better understand my own struggles and navigate my own life transitions, I was drawn to this work long before I ever sat in the therapist’s chair. I know how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help, and I approach each client with empathy, warmth, and respect.

I specialize in working with young adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the often overwhelming pressure to “have it all figured out.” My style is compassionate yet direct. I create a space where you can feel supported while also being gently challenged to look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I am an eclectic therapist, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities (like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to meet each clients unique needs. My approach blends talk therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and build a deeper sense of presence.

I can’t wait to meet you!
