Shelagh Murphy, LCSW

I have 14 years of experience providing support to individuals and families facing a broad range of challenges including depression, anxiety, medical issues, end-of-life care/hospice, recovery from abusive situations, trauma, and significant life changes.

I was born and raised in Boston, am graduate from Boston Latin School and fortunate to have been a foreign exchange student. I earned a BFA in Photography from Arizona State University before serving two years in the Peace Corps. Upon returning to the States, I moved to NYC, where I pursued and completed my Masters in Social Work.

I started my social work career in medical social work in Boston and NYC, specifically in ICUs and oncology. As lock downs were lessening, I relocated to North Carolina where I started a private practice while running an Intensive Outpatient Program.

My background in art and experiences living in different locations and cultures deeply influence my practice, bring creativity and curiosity to sessions.
