Shawnda Dewberry, Licensed Master Social Worker

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Perhaps anxiety, negative thoughts, relationship stress, grief, or a difficult life transition has made it harder to feel confident and grounded. You may understand what you are going through, but still feel unsure about how to move forward. You do not have to figure it all out alone. My approach to therapy is to be real with you, warm, collaborative, and practical. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, I provide a supportive space where you can speak honestly, explore your emotions, and better understand the patterns affecting your well-being. Together, we will identify your strengths, clarify what you need, and develop realistic tools you can use in your everyday life. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strength-based and eclectic person-centered approaches. This allows our work to be personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, we may focus on challenging unhelpful thoughts, managing stress and anxiety, improving communication, strengthening boundaries, processing loss, or rebuilding your confidence and self-trust. I also offer group therapy designed to help women strengthen their self-esteem, confidence, and sense of identity. Through guided discussions, practical exercises, and connection with others, women can learn healthier ways to view themselves, express their needs, and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped, not judged or rushed. Therapy is a process, and I will meet you with compassion while also helping you take meaningful steps toward the life and emotional wellness you desire.
