A Little More About Shelida
I am currently a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (APC). I have a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University and a BS in Psychology from Georgia State University.
For nearly seven (7) years, I have served both children and adults during significant transitions. My background includes grief counseling, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Some of the settings I have provided support in are, community (homes, schools, and jail), crisis (responding to crisis calls), and private care (private practice). My experience also includes counseling, advocating, providing psychoeducation and skill building for parents (biological and foster) and children within the foster care system.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy. I uphold the Rogerian principles of providing empathy and non-judgement in my approach. I have received additional training in Grief Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM). I also use Brainspotting as a method to treat trauma.
I strive for continued growth, so that I am providing you with sound and ethical care throughout your counseling journey. To maintain this level of care, I receive continued supervision.
In addition to supervision, I have been accepted to continue my education in the PhD Counseling Education and Supervision program with Capella University. Furthermore, I am in the process of receiving continued education in the specific areas of trauma and grief.
