Getting to know Shavonne James

“I feel honored that people allow me to get to know them in such a vulnerable way and trust me with their growth process. While we often wear a facade of perfection and filter out our perceived flaws, therapy encourages us to unmask and welcome the whole self. I love that part.” - S Who Am I? Hello, my name is Shavonne. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with a Master’s in Social Work from Savannah State University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California Merced. I’m passionate about helping teens and young adults feel more secure in themselves and their relationships. Many of my clients over-function and believe their worth is tied to usefulness and achievement. They struggle with guilt, shame, approval-seeking, and suppressing their needs. I focus on nurturing who they are beyond their roles in others’ lives. I work from a humanistic perspective, helping clients acknowledge and feel confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more balanced, fulfilling relationships. How I Can Help You Over-functioning often stems from being valued only for accomplishments and self-sufficiency, without being seen as whole people. Many give up authenticity and feel trapped catering to others’ expectations, leading to resentment and self-abandonment. As a licensed therapist, I’ve helped many pursue a more fulfilling life. I provide individualized therapy to help you discover unconscious beliefs influencing your self and belonging, as well as your internal experiences—stories, motivations, strengths, and desires. Together, we will find your intuitive voice, build self-worth, push through discomfort and resistance to change, and develop practices that alter the dynamics holding you back.
