Hi! I’m Shavarne (Shavon), a Licensed Mental Health counselor and I have been practicing for about 5 years now! I received my Master’s degree from Walden University. Mental Health is extremely important to me which is how I got in this field. I enjoy working with a variety of clients who come from various backgrounds! I enjoy assisting my clients in reaching their goals!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session will consist of information gathering like why you came to therapy? Some background info like where you live, past and current mental health issues, substance abuse, any clubs or organizations you are a part of, family, and any past or current legal involvement.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my greatest strengths are active listening and expressing empathy. No one can walk in your shoes and no one can tell you how to feel about whatever you are going through.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help with anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and many more issues to identify your feelings, try to change negative thought patterns, and utilize healthy coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing

I use this treatment method to ask open ended questions and provide a safe space for open dialogue to normalize clients’ experiences using active listening.
