I am Shamona McFadden, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I have over 13 years experience providing therapeutic interventions and consulting in areas where stagnation or obstacles hinder clients from performing at a certain level of normalcy. I believe in a well-rounded approach to wellness specializing in mental health, relationships, family therapy, fitness/nutrition, and much more. It is imperative for clients to understand the process included in therapy to not only feel better, but to also maintain a certain level of health through self-care once sessions are completed.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will include a brief introduction from me as the therapist, an intake questionnaire and the expectations of counseling during our time together. The first session typically allows the client to share the challenges allowing the therapist to better understand the concerns and create a treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Greatest strength...whew... would be connecting with the client and allowing them to openly express themselves free of judgement. Our sessions will be a safe space where not only the clients freely speaks but is challenged beyond their normal scope of thinking/doing. Building a relationship and making the client feel comfortable is important to client's willingness and engagement.
