Getting to know Shawnta McMillian
Hello, I'm Shawnta (pronounced with a long a sound at the end)!
Do you want to rediscover yourself in a way that moves you forward in life toward purpose and joy? Are you experiencing challenges in moving forward after a significant loss? Do you find yourself consumed with the past and unable to move forward?
You have made a huge, important step by seeking therapy. I help men, women, and adolescents overcome challenges related to depression and anxiety. Together, we can identify where you are and where you want to be, what's working and what's not working, and set a plan on how to move forward. I approach therapy from a person-centered model, so your goals for therapy will be rooted in what you would like to accomplish.
I hold a Master of Education in Community Counseling from Kent State University, which informs my compassionate and effective approach.
I look forward to working with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session together will involve us getting to know one another better and I will need to obtain a lot of background information, in addition to what is currently bringing you into therapy. This is the assessment phase. After assessing what your needs are, we will work on a plan that includes goals for therapy. I will engage you in discussion and activities that help you work on your goals. I will assign homework at times and will expect you to practice skills from session outside of session. In each session, we will discuss how the skills worked and make any adjustments needed until you are experiencing success.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
