Hello! I'm a licensed clinical social worker from Chicago, Illinois. I received my masters in social work from the University of Chicago in 2022 with a specialization in trauma-informed care. I work as a clinical supervisor at a community mental health agency on the souths side of Chicago. Apart from therapy, I am a musician, chicago resident, and a proud uncle.

Hi! I am Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Social Worker (LSW), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC III) based in Ohio. I received my Master from Walden University in Minneapolis and have been practicing for 13 years. I want to help adults find a more lasting solution beyond their immediate mental health concerns. I understand that pain in life is unavoidable and as your therapist, I want to help you work toward a healing solution and bring out the best in you. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. With a focus on evidence-based practices, I help individuals navigate life's challenges, improve their mental well-being, and develop coping strategies. My goal is to foster self-discovery and resilience, empowering clients to achieve their personal growth and establish fulfilling relationships.

My name is Shala, I'm an LPCC who works with clients from all walks of life to address some of today's most common concerns. I've worked with people in recovery, people coming out of the prison system, survivors of childhood trauma, people with personality disorders, and individuals questioning their identity and their spirituality. My passions are incorporating mind-body approaches to help you stay present in the moment, teaching skills that you can use in tough moments, offering education on communication and relationships, and incorporating spirituality into the counseling process.

I'm a dedicated professional with over 13 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and find comfort in their daily lives. I insist on personalizing my interventions to suit each individual's needs. I work mostly with young adults and adults (ages 18+). I believe that most of us would benefit from therapy at most points throughout our lives. We are social beings by nature and are simply not meant to struggle alone. We are our own worst critics so it takes an outside perspective of a loved one or a professional to help us recognize the strength amid chaos.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. I earned my Master’s from Youngstown State University and have been supporting clients for several years in achieving their mental health and wellness goals. My dream clients are individuals who are ready to face the challenges preventing them from living fulfilling and meaningful lives. I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, depression, self-worth struggles, trauma, and existential questions about purpose and identity. Whether it’s feeling stuck in patterns of negative thinking, grappling with unresolved emotional pain, or questioning your direction in life, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential therapy. I focus on tailoring the therapeutic process to meet each client’s unique needs, whether that means challenging unhelpful beliefs, processing past trauma, or identifying values that bring clarity and purpose. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, develop coping tools, and build self-acceptance to move forward with confidence and resilience. I value the courage it takes to seek help and approach therapy as a partnership, empowering clients to become active participants in their growth and healing. Together, we work to process emotions, develop healthier patterns, and align life choices with personal values.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, the weight of your past still follows you? Do you struggle with feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected from the world around you? Maybe you're a veteran carrying invisible wounds, an LGBTQ+ individual navigating acceptance, or someone who has survived experiences that left deep emotional scars. Perhaps family dynamics have made it difficult to find your voice, or self-doubt has kept you from fully embracing who you are. Whatever your journey, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, process trauma, and rediscover your strength. Together, we can work to unpack the pain, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and help you step into a future where you feel empowered, valued, and whole. Healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about learning how to move forward with self-compassion and resilience. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s start the conversation. What would it feel like to be truly heard? My ideal client has incredible resilience and grit and is still optimistic that their life can get better. My ideal client comes from a broken home/ childhood trauma/ and or a series of abusive relationships. My ideal client is committed and wants to unpack the pain that we typically compartmentalize and numb. My dream client believes in spiritual growth and holistic healing. My ideal wants to love themselves again and feel safe in their bodies.
