Greetings! I’m Shantel Chapman, a licensed therapist in Florida & North Carolina with over 9 years of experience in the behavioral health field and 3 years of experience in mental health counseling. I know that individuals experience challenges throughout their lifetime that may impact their mental and emotional health. My purpose is to be a supportive guide for individuals searching for a way to navigate these challenges, find healing, and hope for the future. I use a person-centered, empathic, and compassionate approach along with a combination of evidence-based counseling modalities to support clients on their journey. These modalities include cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

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

The initial appointment will start with introductions and a conversation of "what brought you in today?" I will gather background information for diagnostic purposes and discuss goals to develop a treatment plan.

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

Having worked in community mental health for multiple years I understand the stigma associated with seeking support from a professional. However, I create a simple therapeutic process so it isn't intimidating which allows diverse groups of people to seek care, and feel seen and heard.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to support individuals in learning about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The goal is to help my clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use a person-centered therapy approach by creating a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their feelings and aspirations. The focus is on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to experience growth and self-acceptance.
