About me
I'm Dr. Shalanda and as a women's mental health specialist, clients come to me for help with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions be it marriage, pregnancy, or a career change.
I'm a person-centered, client-centered therapist with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) training and brainspotting certification training for those needing to address past trauma. I believe you are the expert in your own life and I serve as a guide to provide clarification where the stress of everything may be making it difficult to think through and work through things on your own. As a dedicated psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I employ evidence-based practices tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals and group participants can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies. My holistic approach emphasizes a deep understanding of each individual's unique journey while fostering resilience and promoting overall well-being. I am on a mission to teach women and their loved ones that self-care is not selfish, but a vital part of our day-to-day.
