"In the comforting embrace of Shawntel Ferebee's therapy sessions, I found the courage to navigate through my storms with grace and innovation."

My clientele includes a variety of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, and a range of mental health disorders. I provide support for individuals struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personal stressors, family conflict, career changes and social/relational issues that may impact their day-to-day functioning in a negative way. My clients feel comfortable to discuss their concerns varying from changing careers, family and dating issues, past traumas and so much more. Clients are most attracted to the ease and flexibility of sessions due to the relaxed atmosphere.

The process of working with a client is a collaborative effort. It is most important to me, to build a strong therapeutic alliance and allegiance in order to identify the desired changes for a client. I encourage the client to think outside of the box when resolving different issues while also challenging the behaviors that may hinder any goals.

I work to create a safe space where we can gain perspective and solve different mysteries. If we can stay inquisitive and compassionate it will aide with putting your puzzle pieces together. Clients walk away feeling supported, having identified effective ways to manage a variety of different situations.
