Mr Shannon Bowman Social Worker

Shannon Bowman - Psychotherapist · Accredited Mental Health Social Worker · EMDR Practitioner. Shannon is a psychotherapist and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker whose clinical work centres on EMDR. He founded Create Balance in Geelong in 2017 and has worked with EMDR clients every day since 2019. He works with adults navigating complex trauma, ADHD, and neurodivergent presentations, including people who are highly capable on the outside while quietly struggling underneath. His clients include professionals, parents, and people who have spent years managing rather than healing. Shannon's primary approach is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that works directly with the way distressing experiences are stored. Sessions are tailored to the individual and designed to feel collaborative and human rather than procedural. Your first appointment is a standard 50-minute session, giving you the opportunity to talk through what's brought you here and work out the best approach together. Fees A standard session is $295. With a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan, a Medicare rebate of $87.25 applies, reducing your out-of-pocket cost to $207.75. Without a Mental Health Treatment Plan, the full fee of $295 applies.
