Hello, My name is Oshena, but many call me Shena. I recently obtained my Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have over 4 + years of mental health experience. My experience consists of working in case management, hospice - bereavement- grief counseling, mental health field, inpatient psychiatric facility, outpatient mental health services, mobile response crisis counselor, group therapy, adolescent therapy, and substance use counselor. I am deeply passionate about working with a wide range of individuals, including young adults, older adults, older teens, and adults, to help them navigate the everyday challenges that life presents. These challenges often manifest as societal pressures and the need to conform, which can result in lower self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. My approach is rooted in harnessing an individual's identified strengths and empowering them to overcome life's hurdles. These obstacles may include anxiety, depression, grief, self-doubt, anger management, boundary-setting, communication issues in relationships, burnout, and the challenges of transitioning into adulthood. My favorite metaphor is based on a rubber band. "Like people, rubber bands come in different shapes, sizes, textures, lengths and flexibility. If you stretch a rubber band to the max it typically bounces back into shape due to elasticity." Based on this, I firmly believe in starting where you are to work on breaking down those walls of narrow thinking to bounce back with your elasticity to positive thinking and push towards resilience. Having faith in yourself marks the initial stride, and by seeking guidance, you've already embarked on the next leg of your journey. You hold the resilience needed to conquer the challenges you've encountered, even if it feels daunting. In the realm of therapy, my guiding principle is to embrace the process of healing and personal development with an open heart. I'm here to support you on this journey.
