Hello and Welcome!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University. I have experience working with clients experiencing trauma, developmental trauma, high stress, and domestic violence. I enjoy helping clients reduce stress and heal to experience greater health, joy, and well-being.

I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by the past find steadier ground and feel more at peace in their lives. I know reaching out for therapy can feel hard, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re facing a major life change, carrying old pain, or feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling and figure out what you need to feel more hopeful, grounded, and in control.

With over 33 years of experience, I help men and women navigate life’s toughest challenges—depression and trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with men, women, first responders, and missionaries, and I bring a faith-sensitive, solution-focused approach. After graduate studies, I completed a two-year internship at the Christian Family Institute in marriage and family therapy, and I am a Certified Self-Leadership and Executive Coach. My goal is for you to feel deeply understood and leave each session with real clarity and momentum.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, I am passionate about personal growth, both physically and mentally. I find balance through movement, whether it's walking my dogs, hiking, or riding my horses.

Hello, my name is Shonda Phillips-Young. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better. I am excited to invite you to embark on a transformative journey toward a more balanced and enriched life, where serenity and personal growth await. My passion is fostering a secure, supportive environment where you can express your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Together, we will navigate your challenges and work diligently toward your aspirations. I am dedicated to empowering you throughout the therapeutic process, helping you uncover your inner strengths and resilience. I eagerly look forward to the possibility of joining you on this transformative path toward healing and growth.

I work with those who are juggling the demands of work, relationships, family, and everyday life while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or never quite "good enough." Many experience burnout, anxiety, ADHD, body image concerns, divorce, or major life transitions. Therapy helps them quiet self-criticism, set healthier boundaries, manage stress, and build a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Shelena is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas.

She loves working with individuals to help them reframe negative thinking and behaviors. She believes that given the right tools we all can become the best version of ourselves.

With over 20 years as a counselor in an education setting and over 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I recently retired from my education profession and now devote all my time to my therapy practice. My goal is to build a genuine connection and be someone you feel comfortable turning to as you move toward the life you want.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, therapy can provide the support and direction you need to move forward.

Her style is warm, collaborative, and practical, focusing not only on insight but also on helping you make real progress in your daily life.

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you're ready for support, Michele would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
