Connor McSweeney, LCSW, is an independently licensed clinical social worker providing therapy in Helena, Montana, a storyteller with deep Montana roots, from the Hi-Line to the capital, who brings genuine neighborliness, humor, and hard work to every client relationship.

 

Connor earned his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Montana (2018) before heading across the country to complete his Master of Social Work at the University of New England in Portland, Maine (2022), and achieved full independent licensure in November 2024 after completing over 3,000 hours of supervised clinical practice.

 

He works with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, with particular skill navigating complex family dynamics — whether in individual, couple, marital, or family settings — and brings both competency and humility to supporting historically traditional and historically unrecognized families alike, including LGBTQ+NB individuals, aging caregivers, and those impacted by substance use or incarceration.

 

As a neurodivergent and queer clinician, Connor uses a client-centered, relational approach grounded in feminist and queer theory and psycho-education to help clients work through the "is this normal?" questions of life, identify their values, and build the self-advocacy skills to define their own path forward — long after they leave the therapy space.
