Getting to know Shadisha Bennett Brodde

Shadisha Bennett Brodde is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through challenges with trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She believes that healing begins when we recognize that the wounds are within, but so are the weapons. Guided by this philosophy, she creates a compassionate, safe, and empowering space where clients can explore both the pain and the joy of human existence. Shadisha specializes in working with underrepresented groups and has extensive experience counseling survivors of sexual and domestic violence, those navigating identity formation, LGBTQIA+, women's issues, neurodivergence, and adults seeking recovery from substance use disorders. Her therapeutic approach draws on Positive Psychology, CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, and trauma-informed practices, with a strong emphasis on cultivating self-compassion and resilience. She is skilled at leading both individual and group sessions, including intensive outpatient programs, and is committed to fostering growth, healing, and self-efficacy in every client she works with. In her career, Shadisha has worked in a range of settings; from hospitals and community agencies to college counseling centers and fully telehealth environments. She has also supervised master's-level counseling interns and provided psychoeducational workshops on topics including self-compassion, boundaries, suicide prevention (QPR), diversity and microaggressions, and substance use. She was born in Jamaica and have lived in four U.S. states so far, which has given her a love for experiencing different places and cultures. In her free time, she enjoys reading, with fantasy as her favorite genre, and watching action movies with her family, especially those with clever and creative fight sequences. She also has a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with her pets.
