Hello there! My name is Shajuan Alexander and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor! I operate my full-time therapy practice virtually for clients in Missouri and Texas. Who am I outside of a therapist you may wonder. I identify as a Black woman who is a wife, mother, social advocate, naturalista and self-care enthusiast. Authenticity/Vulnerability/Integrity are some of the top core values of who I am as a woman and professional. Helping people be human, acknowledging their emotions, creating firm boundaries and healthy relationships are some topics that are important to me and that I choose to highlight throughout my practice. I am a firm believer that in order for a person to be whole, there has to be a foundation of self awareness that can be gained throughout of upbringings or our experiences from difference individuals that we encounter. When clients experience me, I want to leave the impression that mental wellness is achievable.
My approach in therapy is one in the same as in my professional career today. My passion is to work alongside my clients, to serve as a guided positive support and a representation of calmness through the chaos.

Greetings, I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of North Texas and have been practicing for 19 years. Transitioning through life changes can be challenging, and having a therapist assist you through these transitions can be incredibly beneficial. Therapists can provide support, guidance, and tools to help navigate changes in relationships, careers, health, or any other aspect of life. They can help you explore your feelings, identify patterns or obstacles, and develop coping strategies to manage stress and uncertainty. Additionally, therapists can offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to express yourself and work through any concerns or fears you may have about the transition process.

Hi - Therapy is about empowering you to make decisions that make you feel good. It's also about understanding that, even when the 'perfect' decision isn't available, that you have the strength to manage any outcome. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy. I have over 17 years experience in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm also an expert in compassion fatigue and burnout and dealing with career stress and boundaries. I help people struggling in areas of work and other relationships find ways to better connect and to feel like themselves once again by challenging what contributed to negative feelings in the first place. I have worked with adults my entire career, as well as youth and adolescents. My outcomes are positive because I focus on building relationships through genuineness and humor.

I have twelve years of clinical experience counseling individuals struggling with issues including anxiety, depression and trauma. I greatly value providing you with an authentic and judgement free experience. I find my clients appreciate my direct approach. In other words, I will give it to you straight. We will work towards what you want in life and that often means moving through what one historically avoids. What lies on the other side of the pain is the life you were meant to live. I also enjoy incorporating humor into our work together. Anxiety, depression and trauma often steal our joy and sense of humor. Joy and humor can be found again.

Hi. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Houston, Texas. I received my Masters of Human Relations (MHR) from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and obtained by first license to practice as a Licensed Professional (LPC) in Oklahoma in 2010 and have been practicing since. In 2021. I became licensed to practice in Texas and had my first experience in online counseling. In 2023, I obtained Nevada LPC license. I strive to create a nonjudmental, and welcoming environment for young and older adults struggling with various life challenges which include depression, anxiety, PTSD and relationship issues, to explore the root causes of these challenges and work towards achieving a great mental-being. Therapy is the beginning of an individual's journey to living a full and meaningful life, after experiencing different challenges in life that got them stuck. Working with individuals on this journey is truly a privilege and one that I take with the greatest compassion and understanding of a client's courage in taking this first step. I am deeply empathetic and genuinely care about the wellbeing of my clients. Looking for a therapist? Look no further.

After many years of exploring a variety of jobs I finally began to focus on assisting others in this adventure called "life ." As an adult. I began serving through Christian ministry and then realized I was even more fulfilled in working more specifically in the wider field of mental health. After getting both master's and a doctoral degree in mental health, I worked in clinical settings, counseling centers, crisis centers, my own private practice , and university settings. While managing my own counseling center, I also served several years teaching graduate students in the areas of counseling and psychology. My joy comes from helping others regain control of life when cognitions, emotions, and behaviors have caused distress. We do not always understand the "why" of life experiences, however we can gain mastery of our thinking, feeling, and doing and continue to enhance functioning and happiness.

I specialize in brief collaborative therapy where we look at current issues, how you cope, how you learned the coping skills and alternatives solutions. We will look at your self-care including spirituality and how to improve your self care if needed. Weekly assignment tasks related to your short term goals will be agreed upon. We will work together to learn and understand where you are now and how the past has impacted you. Engaging in therapy can be anxiety provoking, exciting and freeing. If you are willing to work on our mutually agreed upon assignment between our counseling sessions, you will find we make progress.
I worked in criminal justice prior to being licensed in Michigan where I grew up and studied. Upon moving to Chicagoland, I worked 10 years with a crisis response team and an employee assistance program. This is where I learned to develop skills to drill down into client issues and work with the client to reduce discomfort and improve coping skills. Our counseling sessions did not last beyond 6-8 meetings. I moved to Texas in 2003 and since then have continued to work on crisis teams and with military members/spouses on installations. My practice has been focused on supporting couples communications; life transitions including grief/loss, career transitions, parenting skills and integrating/applying client's spiritual practice into every day life.
Clients describe me as safe to talk with about difficult topics; active and contributing to the dialog; creative in opening up behavioral and cognitive options.

Empowering Your Journey to Mental Well-Being: Counseling with Michael Thompson
Creating a Safe Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment:
Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path. I specialize in helping people with addictive behaviors, depression, personality disorders, severe mental illness, anxiety, major life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and finding their identity as adults.
Tailored Approaches for Your Unique Needs:
I use a variety of approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, where we focus on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences. I also believe in motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation and inspiration to make positive changes.
