Great to meet you!

Hello! I am Dr. Shaniqua Lesesne. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (in SC & NC), Certified Mindset Life Coach, and Youth Mentor who has worked in the mental health profession for 10+ years. I specialize in helping clients overcome depression, trauma, anxiety, & low esteem due to life stressors and challenging transitions. It is my life’s purpose and passion to liberate others by helping them to dismantle negative thought patterns, which often lead to negative emotional & behavioral cycles.

My approach to therapy

As a licensed therapist, I embrace a solution-focused, person-centered approach rooted in empathy and collaboration. I create a safe space for clients to explore their experiences and emotions without judgment. Drawing from various modalities, I tailor techniques to individual needs, fostering insight, resilience, and empowerment. Together, we will navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and embark on a journey of healing, growth, and renewal.

What you can expect from me

My sessions will empower you to change the way you view yourself, your circumstances, and your life. We will work together to help you find the strategies needed to foster peace, clarity, and gain new perspectives as you start your journey toward renewal. By the end of each session, you will leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, and the tools to navigate life's complexities with confidence.
