As a licensed therapist serving clients in Texas, I specialize in supporting young adults through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping individuals navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and significant life transitions. I'm particularly passionate about addressing social anxiety, communication difficulties, and issues related to isolation and personal identity.

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each client's unique journey, with a strong commitment to creating a compassionate, affirming space. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, rebuild self-confidence, and explore their personal potential. Whether you're struggling with mood challenges, family dynamics, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

My background includes extensive experience supporting individuals through diverse emotional experiences, with a particular focus on young adult development and personal growth. I believe in honoring each person's individual story and supporting their path toward healing and self-discovery.

Shalonda is patient, practical and compassionate with a lot of wisdom to guide. She provided me with homework, to expand my horizons, get out of my comfort zone, and use good resources and practices for mindfulness, practical solutions to aptly resolvable problems and perspective for discernment on how to keep healthy emotional boundaries in toxic relationships. She encouraged self love and self esteem boosting ideas and plans that worked. I highly recommend anyone who needs help to seek counsel with Shalonda.
