LPC, 7 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Connecticut. I received my Masters from South University and have been practicing for 7 years. I help young adults struggling with stress, trauma, anxiety and depression. It is my aim to support each of my clients in reaching their fullest potential. It is truly my hope that you become the best version of you throughout engaging in therapy with me!
Having worked with young adults and adults for the past 7 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress
I always use a gentle approach and strive to make sure my clients know that our time together is beneficial not just during the session but outside. Client’s can expect to adapt new skills to help them cope with life’s challenges.
I typically work with young adults and adults. I believe that the individuals who are ready and willing to do the work and show up prepared to implement skills addressed outside of the therapy sessions are the best candidates to work with me.
DaShelle completed her graduate training at South University where she received a degree in Clinical Mental Health counseling. She has spent the past several years serving in a variety of different settings ranging from working with Children and Families impacted by Domestic violence, the prison setting and Drug and alcohol addiction treatment. She has seen time after time in the lives of her clients that positive change is possible despite experiencing unfortunate, traumatic, negative life events.
DaShelle believes that supporting her clients in feeling validated and gaining insight into the challenges they have been facing is essential to healing. She provides psycho education, CBT, supportive reflection and mindfulness practices. She hopes each of her clients will gain understanding, empowerment and an unwavering belief that their pain or past trauma does not define them. Dashelle aims to assist clients in getting "unstuck" and supporting each individual in doing the work to experience positive change.
