Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Shontell, and I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. Whether you’re navigating the heavy fog of depression, adjusting to a major life transition, facing anxiety that won’t let you rest, or struggling with career uncertainty or relationship conflicts—you're not alone. I'm here to help you sort through the chaos and reconnect with your strength, clarity, and sense of purpose.

Let me formally introduce myself. I graduated with honors from Florida Atlantic University, earning my bachelor's degree in psychology. I went on to further my education by obtaining a Master of Education in Counseling with a specialization in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling.

For the past six years, I’ve worked as an advocate for individuals with disabilities. My passion, combined with professional knowledge and genuine compassion, allows me to bring both understanding and realism into my therapeutic work. I began my journey as a community therapist in 2022, working with adolescents, young adults, and couples.

My preferred therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I firmly believe that with the right tools, we can all overcome hardships, pain, and despair. My specialties include depression, anxiety, life transitions, career counseling, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, I help you make sense of what’s happening internally, build new coping strategies, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and resilience.

What you can expect from me

Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface—unpacking the pain, confusion, or self-doubt that may be keeping you stuck. I’ll walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth, offering tools that are both practical and empowering.
