Shannon Hourigan, Ph.D.

I work with families to create a collaborative relationship where you and your child feel understood, respected, and supported. Together, we will create a treatment plan to help you and your child develop coping skills, overcome fears, and uncover your existing strengths and potential. Culturally responsive and gender affirming care is my priority, and I welcome patients from all backgrounds and with all identities.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School with a small private practice for children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I have extensive experience in child and adolescent anxiety, parental stress and anxiety, parent-focused supports, and coping with pediatric medical conditions. I treat a range of psychiatric diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, and adjustment concerns.

When I'm not working, I love to spend time with my family and friends, travel, ski, hike, play games, and create things.
