I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

Honesty and transparency are the best way I can help you. The more I know about you, is how I will be able to assist you. I'm driven to help my clients work towards their goals set in therapy. With solution focused tools and resources.

I am a laid back, caring professional.Lets discuss your feelings and concerns and together make a plan to solve your issues. Learn strategies to deal with stress, anxiety and depression. Improve communication with friends and family. Cognitive behavioral and solution focused. Over 30 years in private practice.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize the person in environment mindset. You are so much more than your current circumstances. Life experiences, family, friends, and environment impact you as a whole person. Feeling anxious, trouble sleeping, relationship strains, and difficulty stepping into a new transition in your life can be overwhelming. I like to use the solutions-focused framework to help you utilize the tools that you already have in new ways.

I also hold an endorsement as a Certified Clinical Transplant Social Worker. This means that I have undergone additional training and experience working with the unique needs of medically complex transplant patients and their families. I aim to help clients through life transitions, anxiety, and women's health.

Greetings, my name is Dr. LaTonya Shaw, I am the CEO of M.I.N.D Therapeutic Services, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Healthcare Administrator with over 15 years of experience guiding individuals, couples, and families toward healing and personal growth.

I earned my Doctoral degree in Clinical Healthcare Administration from the University of Lynchburg.

I was born and raised in Southeastern Florida by my strict and loving paternal grandmother. I am the eldest of my siblings and proudly embrace my Native American, South American, and African American heritage. I am a devoted mother of three adult children, a Godmother to five, two grandpups, finding joy in family, travel, escape rooms, coloring, and sipping hot tea.

I am a bicultural and bilingual therapist who provides psychotherapy services in English and Spanish. My therapeutic approach is culturally responsible, client-directed, and rooted in social justice values. I prioritize your needs by forming a warm, solid, and strong therapeutic relationship.

I am invested in you finding a life worth living. My goal as a therapist is to help clients grow and reach their goals. To allow challenges to help them grow and understand their resilience. My areas of speciality include eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to facilitate clients to live a life that is consistent with each clients’ values, needs and priorities.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression and PTSD.

I have specialized training in the assessment and treatment of behavior related issues, as well as EMDR and mindfulness interventions. I utilize various techniques and interventions to assist clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.

I commonly use interventions founded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness. I worked with adults, couples and elderly across many settings.

When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
