Do you struggle to connect with your child or feel overwhelmed by life’s changes? I’m Shantel, a Licensed Practical Counselor at The Empowerment Lab. I help families, women, and individuals navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, grief, and relationship issues. I create a brave, supportive space where healing begins with empowerment. Using a person-centered, compassionate approach, I help clients strengthen communication, set boundaries, and build meaningful connections. Let’s grow together.
As a counselor, I understand the importance of lived experience and how it makes each family unique.
I believe that creating a brave space for families to have honest conversations about challenges, successes, and opportunities for growth allow families to have a fighting chance at long term commitment to one another.
