As a licensed clinical social worker, I know life can feel overwhelming at times, and asking for help isn’t always easy. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can share openly without fear of judgment. I believe in walking alongside you with compassion, encouragement, and practical tools for growth.
Hi, I'm Shavonne, a passionate and empathetic licensed therapist who enjoys working with women to help them thrive and live a balanced life! My specialities include perinatal mental health (helping mamas navigate their mood and emotions), stress management, and anxiety/depressive symptoms for ALL women. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Texas Women’s University and my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Texas at Dallas. I am excited to meet you and walk along side you on your journey of wellness!
As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.
It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.
Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!
My name is Laura and I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked with children as young as 5 through adulthood to age 85. I opened my practice in 2020 and have enjoyed being a therapist more than I thought I would. I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Christopher Newport University.
It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.
My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.
My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.
