SHAWNESSE HERBERT MA, LPC
SURVIVE. EVOLVE. LOVE. FULFILL.
The Focus
Self-Love and Self-Care
DISCOVER SELF: Surviving, Evolving, Loving, and Fulfilling is a mindset created from the thriving need to know and understand one’s inner self in a society where everything is focused on creating a picturesque caricature of the outward appearance of perfection. We tend to lose ourselves more than discovering our true selves.
DISCOVER SELF is a positive affirmation to offset irrational beliefs within ourselves—a go-to place to refresh and refuel your inner being.
My vision and passion for self-love and self-care have thrived for myself and others. This would be the root focus of my private practice and all my work in between.

How It All Got Started
As far back as I can remember, I have served as a listening ear to those seeking inspiration, help, and advice. Even as a young girl, I was gifted with the ability to provide advice and guidance to classmates and adults alike through my charismatic, I-am-not-playing charm to help others take a stand on their internal happiness.
In 2016, I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling and, shortly after, gained a license as an LPC, and started my profession as a therapist. While seeing clients, I noticed many were suffering from a lack of self-love and needed tools to take care of themselves. I started writing to help others deal with depression and anxiety by delivering positive messages through the lens of self-love and self-care.
I started DISCOVER S.E.L.F. PLLC with the goal of encouraging others through my belief in building healthy, happy relationships, starting first.
