Shannon Algeo (he/him) is a psychotherapist, author, poet and meditation teacher. He holds an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and his therapy work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, depth-oriented and somatic. He draws on graduate studies in Depth Psychology and more than a decade of teaching long-term private yoga, mindfulness meditation and Yoga Nidra. He describes his role with clients as a collaborator, empathic connector and deep listener, and he believes that what has been broken relationally must be repaired relationally.
