Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, IL

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported without judgment. My work is rooted in authenticity, compassion, accountability, and cultural awareness. As a Black woman, mother, caregiver, and mental health professional, I understand firsthand how life’s responsibilities, transitions, grief, trauma, relationships, and everyday stress can impact emotional wellness.

I strive to create a space where clients do not have to “hold it all together.” Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, motherhood, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, or generational patterns, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself while building practical tools for lasting growth.

Clients often describe me as warm, relatable, direct when needed, and easy to talk to. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels collaborative, empowering, and real.

Hi there! My name is Shante, and I’m happy you’re here.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker originally from the Bay Area and have called Las Vegas home for over 10 years. My background includes work in trauma-informed care, community mental health, and supporting Veterans navigating complex life challenges. These experiences deepened my belief that healing happens best in spaces where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what they’re carrying.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels grounded, collaborative, and human. I primarily support women navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the pressures of trying to hold everything together while still caring for themselves. My approach is rooted in CBT and mindfulness-informed practices, helping clients better understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building healthier coping tools, emotional awareness, and more intentional ways of responding to life.

Clients often describe me as warm, calming, easy to talk to, and deeply present. I value authenticity in the therapeutic relationship and believe meaningful growth happens when people feel emotionally safe, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves without shame or judgment.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy pottery, mindfulness practices, spending time with my family, and finding small ways to slow down and stay present throughout the day. I believe healing often happens in the little moments where we learn to reconnect with ourselves with more compassion and intention.
