Shawdyah Fuselier

Hey, my name is Shawdyah Fuselier. I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2021. I received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice with a minor in sociology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2011. I then proceeded to receive my master’s degree in professional counseling at Grand Canyon University in 2018. I have worked in various diverse mental health settings such as substance abuse rehabilitation/short-term, long-term adolescent facility, MHR/ outpatient program, and individual/group settings. Within those settings, I have held administrative positions including clinical supervisor and educational director. A focus of my work has been anxiety and depression management, helping clients develop healthy coping strategies and relaxation techniques, building self-identity and self-confidence, taking steps toward recovery, and healing from traumatic events. I believe therapy is a process of rediscovering self, clarity, purpose, and joy, and I hope to provide a safe, trusting place to guide you through life’s adversities while creating a better quality of life.

My therapeutic style is warm, affirming, open-minded, and direct. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected, while also offering honest feedback, gentle challenge, and encouragement to support growth and positive change. Modalities that I often utilize include CBT, solution-focused, recovery dynamics, EMDR, mindfulness, trauma-focused therapy, DBT, and psychoeducation.

You can expect a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I will meet you where you are while also encouraging you to challenge patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward.

Most importantly, you can expect me to be present with you through the process, celebrating your progress, helping you navigate difficult moments, and reminding you that you do not have to have everything figured out before you begin.
