About me

Greetings and thanks for stopping by. My name is LaShanda and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. My background includes experience working with adults and children, however I only see adults at this time. I have worked with people on a large array of challenges/situations. However, my specialties include: depression, stress, life adjustment/changes, women's issues, infertility, self care and coping skills. I know sometimes that it may feel like life has roads with many twists, turns, delays and detours. I also know that sometimes we simply may be in new territory, or in pursuit of new dreams and goals. I want you to know that wherever you may find yourself on this journey of life that I am here to offer you support. I am well versed in a number of different therapeutic approaches/treatment modalities, however I believe that there no one size that will fit all. So, we can work together to come up with the best support suited for your needs. Please note: If you do not see a day or time that will suit your needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via message as I may be able to accommodate your request. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session we typically complete matters related to assessment/and or screenings. We also develop goals that we plan to address during the time we will be working together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am kind and warm. I try to make therapy as painless as possible. I also understand that it takes courage and a willingness to participate in therapy/counseling from the start. I am able to adjust the pace of things we address in a person centered manner, to where we work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Adults, 18 and older, perhaps struggling with anxiety, depression, or issues related to stress, adjustments and/or transitions.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I prefer to use an eclectic approach as I am trained in various treatment modalities to include: Strengths Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Brief Therapy. I may pull from different modalities based on your individual needs so that the care is tailored in a matter that is just for you.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I am highly trained in DBT, and have been for years now. It is effective with more than just borderline personality disorder and many can benefit from this approach.

Trauma Informed Care

I am trauma informed and many people have experienced trauma in one way or another. I ensure that matters related to trauma are indeed handled with care.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am experienced in using this approach in addressing various situations and situations that people may be experiencing in life.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I am trained in the person centered approach and many of my clients likely are able to note this approach.
