I have expertise in counseling for a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety disorders and addictions, but my experience in finally beating my own weight problem after 25 years of weight loss failure is what has made weight loss my specialty. I discovered the solution to successful weight control in 1985, lost 140 pounds, and have maintained my ideal weight with no trouble. I've been helping others to the solution ever since. Now I'm teaching it to other therapists too.

When counseling, I look at whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the upmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one-step at a time.

Are you tired of feeling "stuck" ? This can be in your own life or in your relationships. Well then, I think we can work together. I am looking for the people who have the courage and willingness to make change in their life. I believe we are a partnership, working together, to give you the life you envision for yourself. I will give you the tools you will need to help make these changes through a variety of therapeutic approaches. Try to be open to new possibilities and ideas. I like to have fun, too!

Hello and welcome to your journey of healing! My name is Shandria R. Woodall and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 5 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings and with diverse populations. I have worked with several non-profit organizations, in the school setting as a school-based therapist, in the child-welfare system and in private practice.

I have drawn the conclusion that the only reasonable approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are. Perhaps you are feeling sad-- that's where you are. Perhaps depression or anxiety have affected your daily functioning. Perhaps you are in a relationship that isn't working and you would like to mend things or try to figure out what to do next. You are experiencing family problems, sexual problems, identity problems, or career problems. I would be honored to co-partner with you to bring you to a place in life where brokenness is replaced by freedom and happiness.
