Getting to know Shanita Barnes

You've been handling a lot on your own for a while now... and doing a pretty good job at it, honestly. But just because you can carry it all doesn't mean you're supposed to. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of holding everything together, that's usually where I come in! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston. I've worked in both acute medical and behavioral health settings, so I'm comfortable navigating real-life situations and helping you get clear on what's going on and what to do next in a way that makes sense. I'm just as light-hearted, grounded, and easygoing, as I am intentional and honest. I pride myself on being warm, supportive, unpretentious, and genuine. Therapy with me feels more like a real conversation than anything else. You don't have to come in polished or "put together". Show up exactly as you are. I'll meet you with zero judgment, but I'm not the therapist that's just going to nod and let you stay stuck! We're going to talk it through, get clear, and actually shift some things. Clarity first, then change- in that order!
