(she/her)
Hello, my name is Shanton Roberson. I am a native of Detroit, Michigan. I completed my undergraduate studies in social work at Alabama A&M University and my Masters at Capella University. I hold a clinical license in both the state of Florida and Alabama. I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
During our initial session, we will focus on establishing rapport and then proceed to explore the specific challenges you are encountering. This will provide me with the necessary insights to devise a personalized plan for our subsequent sessions.
I have 19 years of professional work experience in mental health. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults at every stage of their journey. My clients are motivated to improve but may lack the necessary tools to make their goals a reality. Often, they feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious during certain seasons of their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using cognitive behavioral techniques for the past ten years. I started learning this approach when I was a residential counselor working with children in group homes. In practice, I use this technique to help individuals recognize and challenge cognitive distortions and unhealthy patterns that impact them mentally, physically, and emotionally.I've been using cognitive behavioral techniques for the past ten years.

Compassion Focused
I implement compassion-focused therapy techniques to aid individuals in fostering a non-blaming, compassionate understanding of themselves and others. I prescribe homework aimed at nurturing the capacity to cultivate and experience compassionate qualities, including self-compassion, openness to receiving compassion, and the ability to feel compassion towards others.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I've been using the person-centered technique for 20 years. It is the core treatment theory that I learned to apply since my undergraduate studies. In practice and in my personal life, I apply the theory of allowing people to feel safe in being human, free from judgment.

This was my very first therapy session ever and I experienced anxiety my entire session— however, Ms. Shan made me feel seen .. She opened my eyes to things that I didn't know or notice about myself and past traumas. She for sure is a safe space for me now, even through my anxiousness — I love It here already.

Shanton has this warm and receptive persona that just allows you to be open and comfortable with her. She actively listens, giving you that room to vent all while giving you the meaning to your emotions or situation. If you are looking for someone with a kind spirit and relaxed demeanor, Shanton would be your fit.

Ms. Shanton was authentic and personable. I truly appreciate the safe, judgement-free space she created for me. Throughout our session, she shared an abundance of wisdom. I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with her.
