Shawynque Shankin, MA, LMFT

Shawynque Shankin, MA, LMFT I strive to be authentic to who I am as a person. As a therapist, I strive to be authentic to who I am as a person. This is your time and your session!

I believe that in session we can celebrate successes, while at the same time, we can be honest about the necessary steps to achieving goals. In session it is my goal to celebrate your successes, while at the same time, working on the necessary next steps to achieving your identified goals. As a therapist I strive to meet my clients where they are in order to provide the best possible change. Regardless of the starting point I strive to help my clients discover what aspects of their thinking and behaviors are hindering them from being who they aspire to be. It is important to adapt my theoretical orientation to each client’s individual needs. I am a client-centered and solution-focused therapist. With children and families, I combine Experiential, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide an experience that is unique and personal to you and your family. I have found when working with adults CBT and DBT are amazingly effective at helping clients manage anxiety, depression, and expanding their coping skills. At the end of the day, I want to get to know who you are, as the client.

I am so excited to share the launch of my Imperfect Grace! What started out as simple weekly and monthly fill-in-the-blank planner sheets for a client quickly turned into a full planner for the year 2023. Start the year off by intentionally bringing your vision to life!

This planner was developed for those who have big dreams and visions in their heads but don't know how to make them come to life. I have been a working therapist since 2010. The process outlined in this planner is one I use with my clients to create the steps needed to make sure they follow through on their goals, plans, and visions.

Included in the download:
- Monthly calendar pages
- Weekly Calendar pages
- Weekly, monthly, and yearly habit trackers
- Worksheets to help you plan your vision
- Monthly themes for daily affirmations

This is so me! I NEVER have shoes on,I sit cross legged in my chair or the floor, and I will color on the floor with my feet waiving in the air (both kids and adults have joined me). We can eat, drink coffee, and if you need a throw blanket cause you a little cold .... I GOT YOU!!! ... come in my office to be real, comfortable, and AUTHENTIC. If that's not for you, then I have some AMAZING therapists with all different personalities so i know we will find the right person

“Generational patterns are woven into the fabric of our lives. But they are not set in stone. Fabric can be unraveled, tears mended, knots untangled. And a new pattern can be tenderly and intentionally begun. We are the story-weavers of this generation. May we wield our looms with the bravest love and fiercest hope imaginable.” • L.R.Knost - Little Hearts/Gentle Parenting Resources

Sharing positive needs is an important step in ensuring that you and your partner can feel more connected, loved, and supported. After you've discussed concerns or regrettable incidents, expressing a positive need helps reinforce your connection.
