Despite what you have been through, your past mistakes, hurts, and disappointments does not have to define you. Hello, my name is Fashen, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida and Virginia. I have nine years of experience in the mental health field with a history of working with survivors of intimate partner violence, individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), providing crisis intervention, and practicing within inpatient behavioral health settings. My focus is supporting adults who are experiencing depression, struggling with self-esteem issues, difficulty maintaining healthy personal boundaries and/or navigating the lasting effects of childhood emotional wounds and the challenges that can arise from growing up in dysfunctional environments. Additionally, I provide support to women who need assistance processing grief related to a terminated pregnancy. Overall, I am committed to supporting my clients with their mental health needs while offering a safe space where they may show up as their authentic selves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Whether you attend one session with me or 20, I want you to walk away from each session feeling seen, heard, understood, and empowered. Also, in therapy, we will explore the thinking patterns and behaviors that may be causing you distress today, allowing us to identify the roots of these issues and develop healthier coping strategies. Through a collaborative approach, we will work together to help you uncover the habits, thoughts, and feelings that are keeping you from living your authentic life. I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where we can explore your concerns and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Choosing the right therapist is very important. It’s sort of like trying on different pairs of shoes until you find the right fit. So, explore your options to ensure that your therapist align with your needs and treatment goals. As a therapist, I believe my greatest strength is creating a non-judgmental environment where clients are allowed to be vulnerable, presenting their authentic selves. Also, I am patient, open-minded, empathetic and understanding.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

One may find themselves struggling with codependence, people pleasing tendencies, low self-esteem and more. I will take a collaborative approach to help you identify the habits, thoughts, and/or feelings that are hindering you from achieving your authentic self and together will brainstorm healthier ways of coping.
