Hi and welcome! I'm Shanessa, owner/provider of The Mental Perspective, LLC, and I would love to help you during your journey! Do you ever feel overwhelmed, down, stressed out, or have a hard time finding balance in your life? Are you noticing a breakdown in your relationships (family, friends, partners) and not sure how to repair them? Do you simply need unbiased support and guidance in your life? Yes, I'm talking to you! We can work together to decrease your stressors, implement beneficial coping techniques, improve relationships with effective communication, set boundaries as needed, and make healthier decisions. I am here to help you become a better version of yourself. Using a solution focused approach, we can work towards your goals with intention. I am a huge advocate of practicing gratitude, daily self-care, and setting boundaries. If you are not sure where you stand with your gratitude/self-care practices or setting boundaries, I am here to assist! As you begin your therapy journey, here are some tips to use along the way.

Our first session will consist of me getting to know you, allowing you to get to know me as well, and providing an overview of what to expect. We will then discuss your reasons for starting therapy, presenting symptoms, and identify the goals that you would like to work towards during this process.
My strengths include being authentic, consistent, encouraging, creative, providing a safe space, practicing gratitude, building healthy relationships, boundary setting, introducing effective coping skills/communication, and helping my clients make progress towards their goals.
I love working with clients who are ready to evolve into healthier versions of themselves and willing to do the work to accomplish their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients with shifting their mindset, often consisting of challenging negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, etc.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
This treatment method is incorporated by meeting clients where they are, providing a safe non-judgmental space, respecting that people are the experts of their experiences, and contributing to their personal growth.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I provide effective solutions to clients who desire to set boundaries, build healthier relationships, improve communication, shift from a negative mindset to a positive mindset, and more.

So grateful that I felt heard, could be vulnerable and she met me where I'm at. She was warm and inviting and kept me on task. Grateful for her not dismissing my feelings.

I’ve never done therapy before so I was kind of hesitant and even thought about canceling. I’m glad I went through with it because she was very welcoming and warm. Very authentic. She helped me articulate my thought and open up to her. I’m glad I chose her as my therapist.
