LaShauna Banks-Chatman

Hello, I'm Dr. LaShauna Banks-Chatman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Doctor of Social Work with extensive experience supporting individuals through trauma, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep commitment to helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered in their healing journey.

I specialize in working with children and adults navigating trauma, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes. I also have experience supporting individuals coping with health-related challenges and caregiver stress.

My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, meaning I focus on helping you build on the resilience and strengths you already have.

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. Together, we will work to better understand your experiences, develop coping strategies, and move toward greater clarity, balance, and emotional well-being.

During our first session, my goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We will spend time getting to know each other, discussing what brought you to therapy, and exploring the challenges or goals you would like to work on.
