Hello, my name is Shavon Rich, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 16 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. My approach to therapy is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on helping individuals navigate trauma, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I specialize in providing support and guidance to those experiencing difficult life events, with a strong emphasis on fostering resilience and hope.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in a client-centered, integrative framework, meaning I tailor my interventions to the unique needs of each individual. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, and challenges openly. Theoretical Approaches I Commonly Use: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Solution-Focused Therapy. By combining these methods, I strive to provide holistic, individualized care that fosters healing and personal growth.
My focus
I typically work with adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My experience has allowed me to assist individuals dealing with past trauma, helping them build resilience, emotional regulation, and healthy coping strategies. I also work closely with transitioning service members and those experiencing career challenges or significant life changes.
My communication style
In sessions, I aim to create a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Clients often describe working with me as comforting, as I focus on building trust and helping them feel emotionally safe. I strive to create a space where they can express themselves freely and explore their challenges without fear of judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey into therapy was deeply rooted in my desire to help others navigate emotional pain and life’s challenges. I’ve always been drawn to understanding people’s stories and supporting them through difficult times. Witnessing the resilience and strength people can develop drives me to continue this work. My passion is to instill hope, guide individuals toward healing, and support them in finding their own inner strength to face life’s challenges.
My goals for you
I believe in a collaborative approach to goal setting. During the therapeutic process, we work together to define clear, achievable goals based on the client's needs and priorities. I encourage clients to set both short-term and long-term goals, ensuring they feel empowered and motivated to track their progress.
My first session with you
In the first session, clients can expect to share their current concerns, history, and what they hope to achieve in therapy. We focus on building rapport, establishing trust, and developing an initial treatment plan. I prioritize creating a comfortable environment where clients feel safe opening up and asking questions.
