I am a licensed counselor in Georgia with 15 years of professional work experience. I have worked in private practice settings as well as in community mental health, and in those settings, I've helped individuals with issues like anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression as well as coping with life changes. I want to work with my individuals to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
My therapy 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, humanistic, solution-focused, psychodynamic and person-centered techniques. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards 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 Shondalea 'Shonda' Jensen. 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.
Shonda is the pinnacle of a safe space. She makes it very comfortable to disclose sensitive information, and she does a great job of facilitating difficult discussion. Her ability to get to the heart of a problem in a short amount of time is uncanny. I'm so happy I found her!

Shonda is extremely personable and professional. Very easy to talk to, without asking too much. I enjoy the fact I can talk to her about my issues, and she offers both a treatment plan and a listening ear.

She is a wonderful person who is easy and fun to talk to. She makes sure she understands what I say before asking questions and helps me figure out what I need to work on.
