Carolyn "Kari" Homan Shannon , LPC

Carolyn "Kari" Homan Shannon is an emotional release therapist with training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), along with additional therapeutic modalities. She brings over 17 years of experience in the mental health field and holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates formal training and state licensure.

Throughout her career she has worked with a broad spectrum of concerns, from attention-related and obsessive-compulsive issues to severe trauma. She has a particular focus on supporting people who struggle with hoarding, persistent depression, and those who have endured significant traumatic events, including first responders and trauma survivors. Her approach centers on helping people get unstuck so they can begin to live from a healthier, more healed place.

One of her preferred methods blends a client’s existing faith base - including prayer or belief in a higher power - with targeted energy work. She reports that many people experience noticeable progress within one to three sessions, while also acknowledging that some situations require a longer course of care depending on the nature and duration of the trauma. After addressing immediate or acute stuck points, she shifts to a more educational phase of therapy that emphasizes practical techniques, strategies, and skills to support ongoing growth.

Carolyn maintains a compassionate, solution-oriented stance and welcomes individuals ready to begin the work of healing and change.
