I have been a therapist since 2008. I have experience working with child and adolescent mental health, families and trauma. I am trained in several modalities including child parent relational therapy, play therapy, CBT, TF- CBT and person-centered therapy. I also work with adults with an emphasis on managing stress and supporting clients in reaching their best version of themselves. I believe in the power of empathy and resilience to foster positive change.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), which allows me to care for both mental and physical health in a more integrated way. I work with individuals across the lifespan and support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic symptoms, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related challenges.
My background in both psychiatry and primary care helps me understand how closely mental health is connected to physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.
My name is Shannon Murray and I have been in the field for 11 years. I am experienced working with individuals of all ages in the outpatient setting. I have specifically specialized in working with teens and young adults with eating disorders. I have generalized education from my Masters program in social work from the University of Maine guiding my work for individuals who also struggle with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.
Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.
I believe that healthy relationships are at the heart of emotional well-being and personal growth. Seeking support takes courage, and I am honored to partner with clients as they navigate life's challenges and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
As a counselor educator, researcher, and relationship specialist, my work focuses on helping individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships, improve communication, and create lasting positive change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support healing, resilience, and relational wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fayetteville
Searching for postpartum therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. A pregnancy therapist, prenatal therapist, or therapist for new moms may also list maternal mental health therapy or perinatal mental health as a focus area. As you compare options, look for experience with postpartum and prenatal concerns, and consider whether a therapist lists specialized training such as the perinatal mental health certification, also known as PMH-C.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, your search may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can make it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits your schedule, especially when infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines affect when you can meet. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal and postpartum concerns.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum care, review profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
