(she/her)
Hi, my name is Shawntae Stevenson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California! I am originally from Washington state and obtained a Masters in Social Worker and Masters in Public Administration from Arizona State University! I was drawn to this career as a therapist because I understand & personally know how a therapist can be a significant impact on your life. Typically when a person seeks services, they are seeking help and mentally just not feeling well. As a therapist, you have an important opportunity to help clients grow & feel better. The impact I can make drives me to do this work every day!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session with me will entail learning who you are and what brought you to therapy. We will also discuss your therapeutic goals & ensure we are a good fit for one another.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
My approach to therapy really focuses on your thoughts and how your thoughts significantly impact your behaviors (good & bad). The goal is to help you avoid self-defeating beliefs and ultimately experience a more positive sense of well-being. I also like to focus on tasks and think of concrete actions that can be done to help create changes.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My clients are typically experiencing depression (single-episode, recurrent, or dysthymia), anxiety, adjustment disorders, and concerns in their family planning stages (infertility, death, postpartum depression, etc). My usual clients are usually 18 years old and older. They are of different ethnicities, professions, and personal beliefs.
