Shanterica Swan

Hi, my name is Shanterica Swan, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Barry University and my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida International University. I have experience providing therapy in outpatient, residential, correctional, and virtual settings, working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, mood concerns, and difficulties with overthinking or emotional regulation. I work with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed or disconnected internally. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and skills-based interventions, with an emphasis on practical tools clients can use in everyday life.

I value creating a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward greater emotional balance, clarity, and confidence.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel validated while also being gently challenged to grow. In our work together, sessions balance reflection, emotional processing, and practical, evidence-based tools you can apply in everyday life.

I take a whole-person approach that recognizes the connection between mental health, nutrition, physical activity, and daily habits. I work at a pace that feels respectful of where you are in your journey. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and identifying patterns that may no longer be serving you, with the goal of helping you feel more confident managing emotions, navigating relationships, and making choices aligned with your values.

Therapy with me is not about perfection—it’s about progress, clarity, and learning to show up for yourself with greater compassion and intention.

In your first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free space focused on understanding your concerns and goals. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, review what to expect moving forward, and begin identifying practical tools you can use right away. The session is about building clarity, comfort, and a strong foundation at a pace that feels right for you.
