Welcome! Are you are looking for a safe space, with someone who is down to earth, direct and compassionate? Are ready to feel like you have more direction, peace and increased knowledge of who you are? If so, you are in the right spot. My clinical practice is grounded in the belief that we are all the experts of our own lives and we have the inner wisdom needed to create the life we want. However, many of us experience trauma, and other obstacles that lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, chronic self-doubt and a loss of purpose. If you find yourself wanting to achieve greater harmony in your life, to have a sense of peace, to move from a place of just surviving to thriving, then I am here to assist you.


Who am I and how can I help? My name is Shavon and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with both families and individuals dealing with a wide arrange of challenges such as: depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, life transitions, parenting issues, abuse, low self-esteem and lack of boundaries.


My therapeutic style is eclectic, and tailored to your unique needs. I utilize skills and techniques from several modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, EMDR and somatic therapy. However, the goal is always to assist you in gaining the tools you need to navigate life's challenges and create the life you deserve. I understand that when most people seek the services of a therapist, something in their life is causing them great discomfort. Therefore, I work to provide not only a listening ear but also strategies and a concrete plan of action address your discomfort.


I know that it takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek assistance and I want to honor you for that. If you feel that I am the right therapist for you please reach out, I am ready and able to assist you on your healing journey.

You are overwhelmed at work, a place where you’ve excelled. Your personal life and relationships are affected, and you don’t feel like yourself. The work stress, anxiety, and perfectionism, coupled with lack of motivation, mindless wandering, and change in confidence is getting to you. You want to find a way to feel happy, excited, and fulfilled again but there’s a blocker and you’re not sure what it is. Therapy is a safe space to explore and work through these challenges, and I’d be honored to be a part of that journey with you.

I specialize in Asian American Pacific Islander mental health, specifically anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, first generation, children of narcissistic/"tiger" parents, aging parents, grief, guilt/shame, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and academic/career counseling. I also work with clients in pregnancy and postpartum.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Texas

Finding the right therapist in Texas starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Texas-licensed therapists include Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

With Texas being the second-largest state in the country, access to in-person care varies widely depending on where you live. Virtual therapy makes it possible to connect with a licensed provider from anywhere in the state, whether you're in a major metro area or a smaller community. Many providers on Headway offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and preferences.

Therapy in Texas can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
