Hello, I'm Monroe Howard-Shackelford, LMSW, MPA, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered therapy in a fully telehealth setting. My approach is goal-focused, and I work closely with each individual to help them discover their authentic self while navigating life's challenges. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or growth, my focus is to support you in achieving your personal goals with a sense of empowerment and understanding. I strive to create a supportive, affirming, and inclusive space where all clients feel seen and valued.
I am particularly committed to serving the Black LGBTQIA+ community, recognizing the unique experiences and challenges faced by this population. Through empathy and respect, I work to ensure that every person I serve has a space where they can explore their identity, heal from past wounds, and build a fulfilling future.
In our work together, you will have the opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I am here to walk alongside you as you work towards becoming the best version of yourself.
