Getting to know Shakelia McLaurin

Hi there, I'm Shakelia! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional and behavioral concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, build healthy coping skills. My focus I work primarily with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional challenges, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space to build healthy coping skills, confidence, and meaningful change. My approach My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I focus on building trust and creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients can express themselves, develop healthy coping skills, manage emotions, and build confidence. My communication style My communication style is warm, open, and nonjudgmental. I listen with empathy, encourage honest conversation, and create a comfortable space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a counselor hasn’t always been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. I chose counseling because I’m passionate about helping others feel heard, understood, and supported through life’s challenges, creating positive change. My goals for you I work collaboratively with each client to identify goals that feel meaningful and achievable to them. Together, we build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and adjust treatment as they grow and make progress. Our first session Our first session is a comfortable opportunity to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. You can expect a supportive, judgment-free conversation about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. We’ll work together to begin creating a plan that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.
