Darragh Sheehan

Darragh Sheehan is a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and adjunct lecturer at Silberman School of Social Work (City University of New York). She has been in direct practice for over a decade in community mental health with a diversity of patients, in particular migrants and other refugees from Latin America. Her primary post-graduate training is in a neo-Reichian somatically oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy (one of the earlier clinical attempts to integrate the political, the body, and subjectivity). As she currently shifts her focus on private practice, teaching, and writing, she hopes to share her thoughts and experiences on the frontlines of direct social work practice in order to promote substantive approaches to merging the socio-political with psychotherapy
