Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m DeJanee Shanklin, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker passionate about helping teens and adults journey through life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. I create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore anxiety, stressors, identity, relationships, and emotional wellness without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is culturally responsive, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, blending evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. Together, we create a supportive environment where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.
