Psychotherapist
Shawnesse Herbert, MA, LPC-S
I work with individuals who are struggling in their daily lives due to relationship abuse and trauma, which are causing symptoms of depression and anxiety. In the initial sessions, we will review past and present traumas and stressors that may be contributing to your mental health symptoms. We will create a treatment plan with goals to help you survive, evolve, love, and fulfill yourself again.
​
Thank you for considering our services! You're welcome to attend sessions in person at our studio office in Northwest Houston or join us virtually, as I proudly serve clients throughout the state of Texas. We look forward to connecting with you!
