(she/her)

LCSW, 23 years of experience
Authentic
Empowering
Open-minded

I have over 23 years social work and clinical experience working with diverse clients dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with children, couples, and families. With each client, a specific treatment model is used which involves a holistic approach that is person-centered to address each client’s needs/concerns. In sessions, solution-focused, CBT, DBT, ACT and other evidence-based interventions are used. Not only am I a therapist but I am also a co-author who helps and motivates others to pursue their goals/aspirations and assists individuals to recognize their strengths.

LaShonda is the best. She allows me to be myself and provided transparency. She pushes me to think differently and gives me assignments to help me find my way through my new journey.

I've had a very positive experience working with my LaShonda over the past six months. She has helped me understand and manage my anxiety and relational issues through practical advice and helpful resources. Her support, honesty, and warm approach has been invaluable. I highly recommend her services.
