Shannon Barefield

Shannon Barefield named her practice Eclectic Psychotherapy to honor her identity and the identities of the individuals she serves. Proudly bisexual, poly aware, kink aware, and welcoming to the LGBTQIA+ community, Shannon creates an inclusive environment where those who experience life from a 'minority' perspective—be it in terms of sexual orientation, gender identity, racial/ethnic identity, socioeconomic status, or relationship preferences—can feel safe and authentic without fear of judgment. Her mission is to support clients in exploring and affirming their identities, healing from trauma, and navigating the complexities of the world. Eclectic Psychotherapy reflects her belief that therapy should be as unique as each individual. Taking a trauma-informed approach, Shannon utilizes a variety of modalities including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapies, and EMDR. Collaboratively, she works with clients to ensure their needs and priorities are at the forefront. Shannon aims to establish a welcoming space for deep exploration at each individual's preferred pace, addressing underlying issues in service of personal growth. Whether navigating identity exploration, recovery from depression, anxiety, or PTSD, or seeking to find one’s place in a challenging world, Shannon is dedicated to assisting her clients on their journeys.
