Getting to know De Shawn Childs

My name is DeShawn. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, as the youngest of 12 children. At the age of eight, following a house fire, I entered the foster care system and became disconnected from my 11 siblings. That experience changed the course of my life and left me carrying a profound sense of loss, disconnection, and the need to understand what it means to feel whole again. Much of my life has been a journey of healing, rebuilding, and learning how to navigate the lasting impact of trauma while developing a healthy sense of self. These experiences have shaped the therapist I am today. My therapeutic approach is grounded in resilience, self-awareness, healing from trauma, and helping people recognize that their past experiences do not have to define their future. I believe therapy can provide a space where people can better understand themselves, develop healthier ways of relating to others, and begin creating a life that feels authentic and meaningful to them.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
