Helping Women Get Back on Course
About Our Therapists
Shannon Keleher, MSW, LCSW
In a world where women are expected to "have it all," societal pressures can quickly lead to overwhelming stress. You start to wonder how other women manage it all while questioning if you're doing something wrong when you can’t meet those expectations. The constant demands can leave you wondering if you are enough.
I deeply understand these struggles, as anxiety once ruled my own life. I know how it can affect everything from your relationships with loved ones to your self-confidence and your pursuit of goals. After completing my undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago, I served as an AmeriCorps volunteer for two years. During that time, I worked with many people who shared similar anxieties, and it became clear that I was not alone in my struggles. This experience fueled my decision to pursue therapy as my calling, and I went on to earn my Master's in Social Work from Boston University.
Since then, I've had the privilege of working with women, children, and families in a variety of settings. Over the years, I realized that I could make the most significant impact working with women in private practice, and Changing Course Therapy, LLC was born.
Every day, I am inspired by the courageous women I have the honor of partnering with. Women struggling with anxiety often possess remarkable insight, compassion, and ambition. When their anxiety is managed, they can move mountains. Through this work, I have grown as much as the women I serve—they teach me daily about resilience, courage, and grit.
I understand how challenging the road to change can be—I've walked that path myself. That's why I became a therapist: to empower others to rebuild their confidence and live a full, meaningful life.
You are ready to move beyond a life consumed by anxiety. You deserve to feel strong, to embrace your worth, and to live a vibrant, purposeful life. Let's take that step forward together today.
