Getting to know Shalawn Childs

I am a person-centered and holistically focused therapist who strives to create a safe, affirming space where you can show up fully as yourself. I have a deep commitment to centering the experiences of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and the LGBTQ+ community, while welcoming and supporting individuals, couples, and youth from all walks of life. As a Black queer woman, I understand how difficult it can be to open up about the issues you're carrying. The fear of judgment and rejection can be powerful barriers to seeking help—especially within marginalized communities. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, grounded in trust and compassion. My approach blends relational depth with evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, helping you explore the root of your struggles and move toward clarity, strength, and meaningful growth. In our sessions, you’ll find a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself freely and explore your emotions at your own pace. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I’m here to support you in uncovering your resilience, deepening your self-awareness, and moving forward with intention and confidence.
