Great to meet you!

Hello. My name is Shelonda Townsend. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups. I have a strong faith in God. I understand that life can get the best of anyone, at any time, and in those times support is necessary.


A bit about my approach to therapy

My areas of expertise are ADHD, anger management, adjustment to new transitions in life, anxiety, depression and postpartum.

What you can expect from our first session

Looking for the bright side in dark situations can be difficult, however, learning to manage helps to create resilience. I think it is important for me and you to work together on your concerns as a team. I enjoy helping others, it is my true passion and purpose. Let me be an ally and come alongside you in your journey to a healthier YOU.

Shelonda's style is

Solution-oriented
Warm
Empowering
