Therapist in Medford, Massachusetts Shannon Foley, Therapist

Shannon Foley, LMHC, is committed to helping adults and seniors in Massachusetts navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based support. Through her work at LifeStance Health, Shannon offers individualized therapy for those facing complex emotional, behavioral, and psychological concerns. Her goal is to empower clients to build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and experience greater emotional well-being. Shannon has a deep passion for supporting individuals coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use concerns. She recognizes how overwhelming these experiences can be and provides a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and begin the process of healing. Whether someone is managing the daily weight of anxiety or working through the long-term impact of trauma or addiction, Shannon partners with clients to create meaningful change and a renewed sense of purpose. She works with diverse populations, including individuals on the autism spectrum and members of the LGBTQ+ community, tailoring her approach to the unique needs and lived experiences of each client. Shannon incorporates a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside mindfulness-based techniques, to guide treatment. These evidence-based methods allow her to address a wide range of mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder, PTSD, and gender identity issues. She also offers support for midlife transitions and post-partum emotional challenges. Outside of her clinical work, Shannon finds joy in spending time with her dog, going for long runs, listening to podcasts, and immersing herself in good books. These self-care practices keep her grounded and connected to the same tools she encourages clients to explore in their own lives. Shannon is proud to serve the Massachusetts community.
