SHANNON SCHUREMAN, MHC-LP
Staff Therapist (she/her)
Shannon Schureman is a staff therapist at Insight & Action Therapy, holding a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Hunter College. Formerly a photojournalist, Shannon is drawn to the nuance of individual experience and is dedicated to empowering people to tell their own stories. Her background encourages thoughtful curiosity and deep empathy, creating space for clients to explore their intersecting identities and inner narratives.
Shannon works with people navigating the complexities of neurodivergence, chronic illness, and/or disability—whether or not they have a formal diagnosis. In a world that often holds narrow expectations for how our brains and bodies should function, it’s easy to feel misunderstood or left out. Shannon brings both professional training and lived experience to her work, offering a firsthand understanding of how isolating and overwhelming these experiences can be. She supports clients through the emotional impact of conditions like ADHD, autoimmune disorders, and other invisible illnesses, which often intertwine with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
Shannon’s therapeutic style is strengths-based and rooted in a Humanistic, Person-Centered approach. She honors the inner wisdom each client brings and fosters an atmosphere of self-acceptance and self-compassion. Shannon offers a space where clients can slow down, reflect, and explore the emotional landscape of their experience. Through open dialogue, she helps clients give language to what they’re going through, process the emotional impact, and cultivate strategies for coping and connection.
Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Compassion-Focused Therapy, Shannon supports clients in developing psychological flexibility and a more compassionate relationship with themselves. As an appreciative ally, she ensures that every aspect of who you are is considered, valued, and celebrated throughout your work together.
