Using an integrated therapeutic approach including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, family systems, and other modalities, we will work together to increase self-awareness into how past experiences influence our present lives as well as to foster understanding into the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
I believe in the power of human connection and the positive impact of seeing the world through the lens of another as well as the importance of feeling heard, understood, and seen. I feel grateful to be able to connect with others while helping to guide them to the best version of themselves, whatever that may look like.

I engage in a variety of modalities including but not limited to: Mindfulness, Family Systems, Psychodynamic, Gottman, CBT, and DBT.
“Imperfection is not our personal problem – it is a natural part of existing.” (Tara Brach). I understand that life can be challenging and has its “faults” but it's simply how we choose to manage it. We might often beat ourselves up for lack of follow-through, discipline, or motivation. As Tara Brach stated, we are humans, and being imperfect is a natural part of life. We might fail to realize that being human means making mistakes. While working closely together, I intend to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself, and not worry about the “shoulds” in life.

Welcome! I work with clients seeking greater satisfaction, connection, and authenticity in their day to day life. It is my goal to create a welcoming, empathic, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your past and present, and make sense of the world you are participating in. Struggles with relationships, anxiety, depression, identity, and emotional regulation can present a barrier that I aim to help my clients overcome.

As a therapist I use my experience and in-depth training in Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients clarify what needs to change in their lives and how to get to where they want to be.
Are you feeling unsure about what you want for yourself? Has your stress and anxiety become so intolerable that it prevents you from enjoying the present and moving towards your desired future? Are you having trouble even knowing what your goals are? Are feelings of self-loathing and low self-esteem keeping you stuck? Many of us hit points where we confront roadblocks and feelings that seem too difficult to overcome, which can create hopelessness and overwhelm about how to move forward. But, with the right help and tools, creating change is possible!

My work with clients is bolstered by many interventions, including but not limited to psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, religious and spiritual therapies, mindfulness therapy, grief counseling, and more.
If you're worried about your teen, I am ready to help. Having spent years working with young adults and adolescents who are struggling, I am skilled in providing support in a caring, non-judgmental way. Together I work with clients to lay down the groundwork of self-compassion to build healthier thinking, behaviors, and relationships. Over time, my teen clients have more insight and skills to use in their daily lives. My experiences working in residential substance abuse and eating disorder facilities have helped me connect with teens and develop an arsenal of skills to assist even the most withdrawn adolescent.

My name is Shawn Redfield. I am an LMFT. I believe change happens in therapy through learning and experiencing new ways to respond to challenges in our lives such as emotions, thoughts, pain, family, or spouses. The majority of my training is in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
