Shannon Degnan, LSW

October 25 · Somatic Socializer at the Cacao Happy Hour, 5:30–6:45 PM

Shannon works with adults navigating behavioral addictions: patterns like compulsive sex, gambling, or other numbing behaviors that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and your life. These behaviors often begin as coping mechanisms, but over time they can become barriers to intimacy, presence and authenticity.

Her work is about helping you stop running and start reconnecting with your body, emotions and deeper values. She takes a bottom-up approach to healing, integrating movement-based therapy, polyvagal theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), working with your thoughts, nervous system and lived experience.

She meets every client with compassion, curiosity and nonjudgment.

On October 25 she is one of our Somatic Socializers at the Cacao Happy Hour, 5:30–6:45 PM. Shannon is celebrating 13 years of sobriety with us this weekend. Come raise a mug of cacao with her.
