Say hello to Autonomy Therapist Shannon Hafterson (She/Her)

M.A., LPC

Practice Manager

Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found Autonomy Therapy!

I joined Autonomy as our first Clinical Therapist in January 2020. I’ve witnessed the practice’s growth since then, and in 2022 was promoted into leadership. As the Practice Manger, I handle a lot of what goes on behind the scenes, including recruiting, hiring, & onboarding new staff, providing clinician & administrative support, assisting with client care, marketing, networking, and community outreach.

I believe mental health is essential to wellbeing. I’ve been on both sides of the couch, as therapist and client, and have found that a supportive, non-judgmental space to process life’s challenges is invaluable for healing and growth. I am passionate about destigmatizing mental health care and am honored to support Autonomy Therapy’s vision, values, and people!

I specialize in working with clients struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, and trauma. While I draw from a variety of therapy models, my core approach is helping people process the emotions that are keeping them stuck. I especially find parts work helps connect clients with their compassionate core self to heal emotional wounds and create balance within.

As the Practice Manager, it is a joy to connect with other health and mental health professionals. If you would like to schedule an informational meeting to learn more about our services, please contact me by email or phone.
