Shon Oren(He/Him/His)

Shon Oren, MSW, LCSW, specializes in working with young men who feel invisible, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns of emotional numbness. Many of his clients struggle with expressing their feelings, often masking pain through sarcasm, social media immersion, or emotional outbursts. He provides a safe space for those experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, racing thoughts, self-harm behaviors, or a profound sense that something isn't right—even when they can't quite name what's wrong.

Shon approaches therapy with a fundamentally humanistic perspective. He believes that healing goes beyond symptom management to address deeper questions of identity and meaning. His therapeutic style is adaptive and client-centered, consistently checking in about what's working and adjusting his approach based on individual needs. Rather than imposing a rigid methodology, he collaborates with clients to develop meaningful paths forward.

Clients and colleagues describe Shon as warm, attuned, and patient—particularly skilled at connecting with young men who may be reluctant to engage in therapy. His background as a Jewish, Israeli, and disabled therapist brings a unique cultural perspective to his practice, informing his understanding of identity formation and resilience.

Shon offers sessions as an associate with Healing with Hannah, LLC, a small group practice in Central Square in Cambridge, MA. Shon also provides secure telehealth options for clients throughout Massachusetts. He understands that reaching out takes courage. He offers free 20-minute consultations where potential clients can determine if his approach feels right for them. Flexible scheduling is available, including evening appointments for students and working professionals.
