Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi! My name is Schavonda. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) working virtually with Texas clients. I have 5 years of experience in private practice and over 17 years in an educational setting.

When one door closes it can make you feel as if life has shut you out. I can help you unlock those doors and step into your purpose using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Solution Focused Brief Therapy. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression or work or personal relationship concerns, I would love to assist with developing a treatment plan. We will work together to manage your mental health by utilizing keys to developing problem solving skills, creating goals, and set boundaries.

If you are ready to unlock those doors, I would love to support and guide you through this process.

Therapist

Hello! My name is James Newman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and have worked across different levels of care, including community mental health and crisis intervention. I am forever grateful that modern technology allows me to practice counseling remotely via telehealth, because it allows me the opportunity to provide counseling to people in a convenient way, including to some who may otherwise never be able to access counseling services.

Currently I provide counseling via telehealth, and it is my aspiration to be able to provide in-person counseling in the Grayson County area by 2027.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Sasheen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a unique background in both mental health and nursing. Since 2022, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and complex stressors. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you — not one-size-fits-all.

I earned my Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Misuse from University of Texas at Arlington, and I’ve also been a Licensed Vocational Nurse since 2012. With over a decade of healthcare experience, I bring a holistic perspective to therapy — understanding both the emotional and physical aspects of well-being.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the COVID, or not able to concentrate and wanting to gain control of your life again? You are not alone. Life can be extremely difficult to navigate at times, especially when going through major life transitions and trauma such as the COVID. These things can greatly impact our wellbeing, especially if we do not have the proper tools to work through them.
