Getting to know Shelonda Townsend

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Maryland and Virginia. I received my Master's in Social Work from the University of New England and have been practicing for over 10 years. I have supported parents by teaching and educating them on how to manage their child's behaviors in the least restrictive environment. I work with individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression by educating them on ways to manage their emotions. I also help young adults facing career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves. My areas of expertise include ADHD, anger management, adjustment to new transitions in life, anxiety, depression, and postpartum challenges. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered Therapy. Whether you're feeling the pressure of juggling multiple roles, weighed down by demands and expectations, or coping with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, you don't have to walk this path alone. Talking and making sense of your experiences can help you learn more about yourself and what you need moving forward. Therapy is an educational tool and a safe outlet to help you gain clarity, insight, and awareness. It can also help you adopt the skills necessary to overcome obstacles and improve your mental health.
