Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
As a therapist who works virtually, I've seen firsthand how removing the barrier of travel and waiting rooms creates space for more meaningful and authentic work. Clients show up while they're in the comfort of their own environments, reducing masking and other barriers to authenticity. For the clients I'm most passionate about working with, the flexibility of virtual care is a necessity. Virtual therapy allows me to meet people where they are both literally and figuratively.

Hi everyone and welcome to my page. As your therapist, I will be a kind and empathic listener and strive to meet you where you are. Together, we will explore your inner world, look at patterns in behavior and relationships, make connections between past and present, and help you to step into a happy and productive future. My work is based on the psychodynamic model, but I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Bowen Theory into my work with individuals.

My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout.

I take a very participatory approach in sessions.

I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

Online EMDR is just as effective as in-person — sometimes more so, because you’re doing the work in your own safe space. We use tools that work across a secure video connection, and sessions are tailored to your pace and your nervous system.

Rebecca Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
When Understanding Yourself Isn't Enough
There is a particular kind of stuck that therapy books don't prepare you for. You've done the reflecting. You understand your patterns. And still, the same things keep happening — the same anxiety, the same relationship dynamics, the same feeling that something just won't shift.
That gap between understanding yourself and actually changing is real, and it's not a character flaw. It's where the real work begins.
What We Work On
As a licensed clinical social worker in Manhattan, New York, working with adults navigating:
Trauma and PTSD
Depression and anxiety
Relationship patterns that have resisted change
Borderline personality and emotional dysregulation
Codependency and attachment wounds
How We Work
Treatment centers on EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — two approaches that work at the level where insight alone doesn't reach. Not just the thinking mind, but the nervous system, the body, the parts of you still braced for something that already happened.
What to Expect
People who find their way here tend to be perceptive, self-aware, and genuinely motivated — and still struggling. Sessions are direct, warm, and honest. Nothing you bring will be too much. Nothing will shock me.
Getting Started
Located in Stuyvesant Town, lower Manhattan. Virtual sessions available throughout New York State. Fee is $250 per session, with a free 15-minute consultation to start.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
