Meet Meg
Megan Shaughnessy-Mogill, LCSW (CA)
she/her
I am a white, Ashkenazi Jewish, anti-Zionist, queer woman practicing politicized therapy on unceded Lisjan (Ohlone) land, also known as Oakland, California. I come to this practice from my own experience of healing through relationship and my deep belief in our capacity, as humans, to heal and transform ourselves and the collective conditions in the world. I am continuously moved to witness and accompany others in their transformative process. I primarily work with survivors of trauma, LGBTQI community, neurodivergent community, social justice activists, artists, and outsiders with attention to the relationship between interpersonal and systemic forms of oppression and trauma. My training and practice are rooted in relational psychodynamic and politicized somatic lineages. I completed my graduate training in psychodynamic clinical social work at Smith College School for Social Work in 2015 and have been training in body-based methodologies with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and generative somatics since 2011.
It has been a long and winding path to find my home as a clinician living and working inside the contradictions of late-stage capitalism. I am delighted and thankful to have found the Kintsugi Therapist Collective and the Embodied Private Practice Cohort. I am grateful for the space to attend to the contradictions we face as clinicians who are committed to practicing in alignment with our liberatory values without leaving ourselves behind. I have been hungry for just this kind of community of thoughtful, politicized, full-hearted practitioners, to share in these lifelong questions together.
