Shanna McMullen

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Louisiana


My name is Shanna McMullen, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. I work with adults and seniors, and I bring a broad, inclusive, and genuinely creative approach to mental health care.

My clinical areas span anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, ADD/ADHD, panic disorders, chronic conditions, sleep disorders, stress, relationships, and family concerns. I offer dedicated support for maternal mental health — including prenatal and postpartum experiences — and I am deeply committed to affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ individuals, including those navigating gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experiences, as well as men's and women's mental health needs.

One thing that sets my practice apart: I incorporate Art Therapy as one of my therapeutic approaches — using creative expression as a powerful pathway to insight, healing, and self-discovery for clients who connect with that kind of work.

Whatever brings you here, you will be met with openness, care, and the full breadth of what I have to offer.

Dr. Shauntee Slack

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Monroe, LA


With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. My work is grounded in trauma-centered therapy, recognizing that many emotional and behavioral challenges are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, understanding, and skilled support.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Dione Joseph-Breckenridge

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my practice.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree, further expanding my knowledge and commitment to providing effective, evidence-based care.

While I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan and provide counseling services for individuals ages 6 and older, I have a particular passion for supporting high school and college students. These years often bring significant transitions, academic pressures, identity development, relationship challenges, and questions about the future. I enjoy helping young people build resilience, increase self-confidence, and develop the skills needed to thrive both personally and academically.

Whether you are seeking support for stress, anxiety, life transitions, personal growth, relationship concerns, or other emotional challenges, my goal is to provide a collaborative therapeutic experience tailored to your individual needs.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and well-being.
