La Shona Jenkins

My communication style

My style is warm, supportive, honest, and nonjudgmental. I create a space where clients can speak openly, feel heard, and explore difficult experiences without fear of judgment. I’ll listen, ask thoughtful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find practical ways forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

After 25 years in child welfare and public education, I was drawn to therapy because I value being present for people during difficult seasons of life. I have personally experienced the benefits of therapy, which deepened my desire to help others feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively. We will identify what you want to change, clarify what matters most to you, and break larger goals into realistic, manageable steps. We will regularly review your progress and adjust our work as needed, while recognizing your strengths and growth along the way.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and see whether we are a good fit. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to accomplish. If time permits, we will begin identifying your initial goals and next steps.
