Therapist

Hi, I’m Dr. Shanice Stephenson-Walcott! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor, and Counselor Educator who believes therapy should be a space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other experiences that can make life feel overwhelming. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices while recognizing that therapy is never one-size-fits-all.

For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that creates space for Christian faith and biblical principles to be meaningfully incorporated into the therapeutic process.

I earned my Master of Science Degrees in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Master's level certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 2017. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach which is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I believe that counseling is a fundamental tool that we should all have access to. It is important for everyone to have the necessary tools to cope, manage, and work through life’s challenges. As long as you are willing to do the work, nothing is impossible.

Therapist

I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.
