Shewayn Watson, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Louisiana

Hi there, I'm Shewayn!

I focus on client-centered care and use evidence-based practices to help you achieve your wellness goals. My focus is on helping you manage depression and anxiety while working toward your mental health goals. I believe creating a safe space for talk therapy is fundamental to fostering trust and openness.

My focus

I am most comfortable with treating clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and grief.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My communication style

I create a supportive environment that includes a warm and enthusiastic tone while making the session enjoyable and engaging.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have experience in child welfare, working with children and families. My journey led me to support individuals in reaching their mental health and wellness goals because most families served in child welfare are impacted in some way by mental health or adverse experiences.

My goals for you

Goal setting is approached with understanding the primary areas of concern for you and parts of your life that you would like to be different. This approach allows you to identify the 'how' and 'why' of change to assist with goal setting.

Our first session

During the first session, you should expect to develop a rapport by telling your story and sharing information to begin setting the foundation for our work together.
