Shannon, LCSWA, provides anxiety, depression, and trauma treatment to clients in Fayetteville, North Carolina and the state of NC (she offers fully remote/telehealth services). Her specialties include talk therapy and EMDR for clients within the millennial age range.

Prior to the Bootcamp program, Shannon felt “aimless” and accepted unaligned clients out of fear, lacking clarity about business processes and her vision for the future. Now, she’s confident in referring out clients who aren’t a good fit and is able to be her authentic self, frequently attracting new value-aligned clients interested in her favorite method of therapy.
