When your life doesn’t fit the stories they tell, when your experience doesn’t match a list of symptoms, when you’re ready to find, or perhaps recover, your voice.

Are you struggling more than usual? Do you feel anxious and scared, maybe even a little depressed? Let me help you!

I am here to help you get back on track when life tries to knock you off your path. If you are looking for someone who is compassion focused; if you need a coach; need help with motivation, anxiety, depression or even compassion fatigue; I am here to help!

There are a number of things that can create feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, anxiety and stress. Changes and transition in our lives, our perceptions of self, and conditions within our relationships may inspire a desire for further insight and understanding of what we find important as well as how we might like to grow. Through counseling, you may begin exploring stuck points and areas of growth, supporting you in finding relief from emotional pain and in cultivating self-compassion - increasing your ability to cope with challenging situations and circumstances as you experience them.

Hello, my name is Shanton Roberson. I am licensed in the state of Alabama and Florida as a clinical social worker. I am a firm believer in iron sharpening iron. It is beneficial to have a tribe and support system for those seasons in life that seem difficult to master on our own. My goal as a therapist is to provide tools during any season of the life journey, provide support during the healing process, and to help to redefine one’s purpose.

Life is a journey and many times it is not easy. My goal and purpose in counseling is to help my clients through the challenges and crises of life. In those difficult times it is hard to be objective and make the best decisions for ourselves and others. The counseling process can provide new objective perspectives and understanding. I listen, understand, stay calm and am not judgmental. Since we are created spiritual as well as physical and psychological I believe including the spiritual component can bring resolution to the source of the issues and not just symptom reduction.
