LCMHC, 17 years of experience
New to Grow
I'm Dr. Shamanda Burston "Dr. Shamanda", a doctoral-trained therapist (PhD, LCMHC, LCAS) with over a decade of experience helping adolescents, millennials, and professionals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and substance use recovery. In addition to clinical work, I’m an educator, speaker, and passionate mental health advocate dedicated to promoting wellness and accessibility—especially in underserved communities where resources are often limited.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you—your goals, challenges, and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to better understand your background, strengths, and priorities. Together, we’ll outline a personalized plan, set intentions for our work, and create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly from day one.
I am compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental. I help teens, young adults, and professionals navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. In flexible virtual sessions, including evenings and weekends, we’ll work together in a safe space to gain clarity, build coping skills, and make meaningful progress toward your goals.
I work best with high-achieving individuals, creatives, professionals, and young people—adolescents, teens, and millennials—who are navigating stress, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm. My virtual practice, with evening and weekend availability, offers flexible support for busy lives. I provide a safe, collaborative space where clients can gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and experience meaningful growth and lasting healing.
Using this treatment method, I will address the connection between the patient's thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
