Great to meet you!

Are you ready to get off the hamster wheel of fear, worry, & anxiety? If you are, I'm ready to help! I’m LaShawnda, licensed clinical mental health counselor (NC, SC, TX, & MD), and owner of McLaurin Mental Wellness, PLLC. I provide therapy that meets you where you are by helping women and couples exclusively. I help women overcome fear, worry, and anxiety to achieve their personal and professional goals and I help couples create the relationship that they deeply desire.

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland, a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I'm a nationally certified counselor, a certified anxiety specialist, and a certified clinical military counselor. Throughout my counseling career of over 12 years, I have worked with a variety of populations with a plethora of concerns. I found that I have a passion for working with women in the area of anxiety, fear, and worry to reach their goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach to counseling is supportive, solution-focused, and direct. It is very important to me that my clients feel supported, feel comfortable to be their true selves, and are challenged to make positive progress. My therapeutic approach is solution focused, yet realistic. I enjoy helping clients set clear goals and plans, while providing guidance and direction as they implement these plans into their daily life.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is conversive and my goal is transformation. I'm warm, funny (if I do say so myself), and inviting. I am also attentive and professional. Therapy with me will be a safe space and I pride myself on helping my clients feel open. Once we complete an intake and determine your goals/needs we get to work. Each session includes us checking in on current life events while also working toward your goals and any other issues we need to address (including past issues). My goal is for clients to leave each session with something to do/try/change/say/etc. so that they can implement and see change in their daily life.

I provide therapy Tuesday through Friday, also offering some evening times.
