Shannon Barefield, LCSW

One of my central beliefs about therapy is that just as every person is unique, every therapy experience should be unique as well. No cookie-cutter approaches here! From our first meeting, I aim to learn from and about you without judgment, viewing you as the unique person you are. As we get to know each other, I'll draw from various therapeutic modalities to help you move toward your goals, including client-centered, somatic, CBT, and EMDR. We'll check in often to ensure that we’re on the right track.

As an autistic therapist, I identify proudly as a neurodivergent person and welcome clients of all neurotypes, including those who are questioning and exploring. Because neurotype affects every aspect of our lived experience, I’m passionate about helping neurodivergent clients create a life that supports their well-being.

I consider being a therapist a privilege, and I love the work I do. It would be an honor to work with you to create a safe, compassionate space where we can dig deeply, at your preferred pace. Whether you're addressing immediate problems in your daily life, exploring your identity, recovering from depression, anxiety, or PTSD, or simply trying to navigate our complex world, I'm here to help.
