Getting to know Shanata Edwards

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCASA). I believe everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges without judgement-where they can simply be themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and I strive to empower clients to not only cope with difficulties but to discover new ways to grow and thrive. Therapy with me is about creating a safe place where you don't have to have it all figured out. I see our work together as a collaboration. You bring your story, your strengths, and your hopes for change; I bring tools, perspectives, and compassion. I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen and understood, so I work to create a space that feels supportive, open, and free of judgement.
