Michele Conner-Shephard, LP — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Michele!

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Whether it's school-related stress, family dynamics, or overwhelming emotions, I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can begin to feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My focus

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or depression? Is past trauma continuing to affect your life today? I provide a supportive and collaborative space where we can work together to create a personalized plan that helps you build healthy coping skills and make meaningful, lasting changes.

My approach

I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to meet each individual's unique needs.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we'll focus on practical strategies that empower you to make meaningful changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep desire to support others through life's challenges and help them find healing and resilience. Through my education, training, and personal growth, I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and a passion for creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by using a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques. Together, we identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and develop deeper self-awareness. My goal is to support lasting, meaningful change through evidence-based strategies.

Our first session

In our first few sessions, you can expect a compassionate, judgment-free environment where we'll focus on getting to know each other, identifying your goals, and developing practical tools to help create meaningful changes in your life.
