Shannon Coleman-Carter, MA

PsyD Intern

Welcome to Lomi! As a Clinical Doctoral Student who has been studying in this field for over seven years, I am committed to cultivating a safe and non-judgmental space with my clients. I work relationally and focus on treating my clients as whole people rather than focusing solely on their symptoms, and I will work with you to openly explore what you’re going through. I recognize that as resilient individuals, we all have the capacity to heal our wounds, and I am here to help support you on your journey. I strive to help clients deepen their sense of connection with self and others, and ultimately make meaning of their experiences.

Recognizing that we all come from diverse and unique backgrounds, I work with a broad range of experiences including trauma, C-PTSD & PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, attachment, anger, sexuality & LGBTQIA+, eating disorders, chronic pain, reproductive issues, relationship struggles and grief. I welcome folks of all backgrounds and walks of life, and have experience working with people who identify as trans, queer, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and folks in polyamorous relationships.

Before coming to Lomi, I interned at The Psychological Services Center (PSC) at CIIS in San Francisco, as well as Aspire Neuropsychological Services in Walnut Creek.

Some of my personal interests include gardening, hiking, painting, and reading a really good book while snuggling with my cat, Orion. In my spare time I also enjoy learning the language of my ancestors, the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, or nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əmúcən.
