I am a newly licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 4 years of experience as a school counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and existential. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mashonda Waddell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
After a few months working with Mashonda I’d definitely recommend her to others. We quickly developed a rapport that made me feel at ease but she also challenges me to go further. She checks in with me between sessions and I’ve really enjoyed working with her.

She’s very honest person and I appreciate that a lot.
Thank you Mashonda!
