Karen Shaughness

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring nearly four decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional experiences, including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal transitions.

I specialize in addressing issues like social anxiety, workplace stress, mood disorders, and interpersonal communication challenges. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual’s unique journey, with a particular focus on supporting young adults, women, and those experiencing significant life changes.

My therapeutic work draws from extensive experience helping clients manage panic disorders, addictions, codependency, and mood disorders. I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

Through collaborative and compassionate counseling, and cognitive behavioral techniques , I aim to empower clients to understand themselves more deeply and build the emotional tools needed to navigate life’s complexities with greater confidence and clarity.
