Greetings! My name is Shantreirra Monroe “Shan” and I am pleased to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience providing counseling and supportive services. I have earned a PhD and Masters degree from Barry University. I have skills in utilizing a variety of tools to help individuals move beyond obstacles, so they can grow and thrive. I understand that life has a way of hitting us with curve balls, beach balls and occasionally hammers. I use a wide range of clinical skills to effectively explore and help clients navigate tough times.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll get to know each other, and get right into doing the work! We can go at a pace that fits your comfort level and build from there.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I take pride in getting to know each person. In doing so, it allows me to use a variety of clinical approaches, interventions, and tools based on individualized needs. This may consist of components from mindfulness-based practice, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed techniques, strength-based practice, and person-centered practice, among others.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
If you are experiencing stress, depression, worry, relationship issues, or are going through life transitions; I can help! My focus is to assist my clients with achieving goals and improving their quality of life. I believe one of the benefits in life is that we do not have to suffer alone. As your therapist, it would be my pleasure to assist you while using my clinical approaches to fit your needs.
