About me

Well Hello! Thank you for visiting me today!!!

I have over 20 years of experience in my field. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Compassion Focused, Strength-Based, Christian Counseling, and Trauma Focused. I like to use tools such as music, video, art, writing, and activity sheets during sessions. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I generally work with people that are having issues with,
*Depression
*Anxiety
*Stress
*Anger Management
*Self Esteem
*Communication
*Trauma & PTSD
*Sexual Abuse
*Domestic Violence
*Grief & Loss
*Life Transitions
*Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum
*Coping Skills
*Parenting
*Family Conflict
*Behavioral Issues

I am here for you! Most clients I work with say I am personable and easy to talk to. It has often been said my witty and compassionate nature is helpful when working through difficult situations. Individuals have said working with me is more like talking to a friend than a therapist. Simply put I am all about guiding individuals through a journey that promotes HOPE, HELP, and HEALING.

Everyone needs a place where they can feel safe. A place where they can be free to just be themselves. When talking with me you can be assured you have entered a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE.

My therapist is exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time , attentive , meaningful, honest and very respectful at the same time . I connected with my therapist from the first moment we spoke . I am looking forward to continue moving forward knowing that I made the right choice ! Thank you LaShawn

Working with LaShawn has been great! After only two sessions I was able to take on a new perspective that has renewed my confidence. She sat with me in my sadness and anger. Having someone validate and acknowledge what I was experiencing as hurtful helped me to change course. Sometimes that’s all you need to move forward!

I like her I feel heard and safe a judgement free zone. She's a great therapist she gives you room to express yourself doesn't cut you off.

I am coming up on a year with LaShawn, and I appreciate her so much. She rolls with however I'm feeling. Sometimes we stick to the work we are trying to complete and some days are "park bench" days, where I need the session to discuss what's bothering me in the moment. I wish I had started therapy sooner to be honest, but then I probably wouldn't have met LaShawn. :)
