My name is Shonda Sessoms. I have been an LPC for over 10 years. I am licensed in MS, AZ, WI, and PA. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who have experienced issues from depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, and adjustments. I primarily use CBT in my practice; however, I consider myself to have an eclectic view on therapy using various theoretical approaches. During your initial session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, gather information, administer and/or review assessment information, and decide the best way for you to make progress.

Do your "symptoms" keep recurring despite your best efforts? Maybe you have recurring or chronic depression or anxiety, or are grieving a loss. Perhaps you feel like something is missing or wrong, even though you function well and have what others may consider a "good life."

I would be honored to provide a safe space for you to deepen your healing journey, and help you get to know your true self.

I enjoy the diversity of my clients, walking with adults of all ages and backgrounds. In 2011 I turned into the joys of psychotherapy as a second career. I see my main job as listening carefully, mirroring your process with empathy and helping you move toward the goals you set, whether they are about reaching deeper inside or moving into the practical steps you need to take next week. My experience and spirituality are assets you can rely on, but they will not direct your own process of understanding, healing and maturation.

Do you find that transitions trigger big emotions and make you feel scared, overwhelmed, or consumed by self-doubt? Change is hard for most people, but some of us are particularly sensitive and feel more easily unsettled by the shifting winds of life. Even wanted and planned transitions - like getting married, buying a home, getting pregnant, and having children - can trigger anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Unwanted and unexpected struggles like infertility, miscarriage, loss, and birth trauma can feel excruciatingly painful and isolating.
