Getting to know Lashaun Dumas

Hi, my name is La Shaun Dumas, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago. My approach to therapy includes implementing active listening skills and providing positive regard in an effort to establish a rapport that may allow for genuine information sharing. Areas of focus include trauma-informed engagement, childhood developmental stages awareness, competencies regarding LGBTQ+, dating violence/abuse, anxiety disorders, mindfulness, and emotional wellness. My approach My approach to therapy helps clients understand that they possess the cognitive ability to make desired changes in their lives by implementing techniques such as reality-based approaches, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavioral modification therapy. My focus I typically engage clients from low, moderate, and high socioeconomic backgrounds, including those strongly recommended to engage in therapy via child welfare systems, restorative justice programs, or conditions of maintaining employment. I also work with clients adjusting to life changes and those with minimal to significant levels of readiness to change. I am comfortable treating clients experiencing grief/loss, anxiety, lack of boundary setting, bipolar disorder, and those requiring motivation to take the next steps. My communication style I strive to present a welcoming, non-judgmental, and inquisitive tone, free of background distractions or noises, with the intention that clients feel they are in a safe space to express emotions, process feelings, and work on the issues that brought them to therapy. My journey to therapy I have seemingly always been the individual called upon by family members, friends, and others in social settings to be a listening ear or sounding board.
