More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 20 State: Michigan

Well Hello! Thank you for visiting me today!!!

I have over 20 years of experience in my field. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Compassion Focused, Strength-Based, Christian Counseling, and Trauma Focused. I like to use tools such as music, video, art, writing, and activity sheets during sessions. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I generally work with people that are having issues with,

*Depression

*Anxiety

*Stress

*Anger Management

*Self Esteem

*Communication

*Trauma & PTSD

*Sexual Abuse

*Domestic Violence

*Grief & Loss

*Life Transitions

*Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum

*Coping Skills

*Parenting

*Family Conflict

*Behavioral Issues

I am here for you! Most clients I work with say I am personable and easy to talk to. It has often been said my witty and compassionate nature is helpful when working through difficult situations. Individuals have said working with me is more like talking to a friend than a therapist. Simply put I am all about guiding individuals through a journey that promotes HOPE, HELP, and HEALING.

Everyone needs a place where they can feel safe. A place where they can be free to just be themselves. When talking with me you can be assured you have entered a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

La Shawn is spectacular experienced therapist!

LaShawn is a great listener and has been pleasant to work with.

LaShawn is truly a gem. She is helping me through the toughest times of my life and has been instrumental in dealing with my trauma

Lashawn is an amazing therapist! Great listener, client focused , supportive, resourceful and she has made a great impact on my mental health journey !

LaShawn is an excellent therapist. She has such an empathetic and accurate guide through my mental health journey and helping me grow stronger and more secure. I am so greatful for her insight, compassion and support in helping me become a better version of myself.

She is the best person ever, and great encouragement, supportive and caring person. She is good at her job and willing to work with you in so many different ways. She have helped emotionally and mentally with myself where.by I love me more than anything else

LaShawn has been a great support for me since I joined Faithful Counseling. Where I was six months ago is not where I am today and she is a large part of that. I feel heard, seen and validated during our sessions. No one thing is too small or big for me to bring up during our sessions, and she is great at helping me process everything!

Takes the time to listen and understand my point of view. Listens to my concerns and provides adequate information and support

Lashawn has an old soul while still offering a fresh and relevant perspective. She has been supportive of my cultural experience and religious beliefs which is something I truly value in a therapist. She promotes creative thinking to resolve personal matters and has encouraged me to pursue a better version of myself.

Ms. Myers is a great therapist. When I first started I struggled with self love and goal setting. I was abused and badly needed healing. She taught me self love and having compassion for me. Her goal setting techniques have been life changing.

LaShawn is very refreshing to speak to. My anxiety has improved since seeing her.

My therapist is exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time , attentive , meaningful, honest and very respectful at the same time . I connected with my therapist from the first moment we spoke . I am looking forward to continue moving forward knowing that I made the right choice ! Thank you LaShawn

Working with LaShawn has been great! After only two sessions I was able to take on a new perspective that has renewed my confidence. She sat with me in my sadness and anger. Having someone validate and acknowledge what I was experiencing as hurtful helped me to change course. Sometimes that’s all you need to move forward!

LaShawn is awesome! She is attentive, caring and thorough. She gives meaningful homework and is dedicated to my progress.

LaShawn is very insightful and is very easy to talk with. She's been great at guiding me through my mental health journey to a better place.

I like her I feel heard and safe a judgement free zone. She's a great therapist she gives you room to express yourself doesn't cut you off.

I am coming up on a year with LaShawn, and I appreciate her so much. She rolls with however I'm feeling. Sometimes we stick to the work we are trying to complete and some days are "park bench" days, where I need the session to discuss what's bothering me in the moment. I wish I had started therapy sooner to be honest, but then I probably wouldn't have met LaShawn. :)

LaShawn seems to understand me without judgement. We've only had a couple sessions, but I do believe I can overcome some of my problems with her help.

LaShawn is an incredible therapist. While my initial reach out was due to multiple grief experiences, I hope to continue working with LaShawn to seek support in areas of life beyond grief. She is patient, kind, and prompt, and she captures significant highlights from my sessions. She is great at consistently checking in outside of sessions, and when we have sessions she is present. So thankful for her!

Great job LaShawn!

She responds day or night and is very empathetic..

LaShawn is absolutely wonderful. I appreciate her intuitiveness and willingness to maneuver with my flexibility and needs. I love how genuine and smooth our sessions are. I highly recommend her.

A caring, genuine, professional expert!

LaShawn Myers is exactly the therapist I needed. She is kind, respectful, open hearted, and communicates gently yet powerfully. She doesnt give canned responses, doesn’t hide per personality (which makes it easier to open up to her) and she shows up completely to our sessions. I feel fully heard and understood. I'm so grateful to have been matched with her. She is exactly who I needed!

It took me years to even try therapy due to the fear that the therapist would make me feel uncomfortable or that I would not be able to share things. I am very grateful that the first person I was matched with was her. She is just herself, which makes it ok to be yourself. I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I am enjoying my sessions, they make me think and talk more, and I am looking forward to more with her!

Very attentive therapist

I’ve been seeing LaShawn for approx 4 months and in that time she has helped me unpack and learn things about myself as I endeavor to be my best self. She is smart, thoughtful and a great listener. She’s very perceptive and gives really good advice. I feel much happier seeing her. I would highly recommend LaShawn.

I genuinely appreciate LaShawn, I had to go through three other therapist before I found “the one “. She is very skilled, formally trained, while being spiritually discerning, insightful and sensitive. She is the right fit for me.

LaShawn was able to help me through a difficult time this year when I was experiencing a difficult transition through my break-up. She helped me recognize unhealthy boundaries, and her words echo in my head as I build my own strength and independence as an individual. I am grateful for her professionalism in dealing with my occasional stubbornness. I am looking forward to working with her again in the future when I may need outside perspective through other personal issues that may arise as I continue through my journey.

Much love. She has helped me learn and grow so much.

She is awesome

I’m very happy with my therapist. She’s kind and considerate but also thorough and strong. For me she was an excellent match.

I have only had one meeting with LaShawn but she Listened and Heard me.

Ever since seeing LaShawn, I have really seen a difference in my patience levels. I have also been less harshly critical of myself. I would recommend her for anyone who struggles with social anxiety and/or self-doubt.

She’s very receptive and a great listener. I have had therapy in the past and felt like all I did was talk about my feelings. With Lashawn we have goals set. She gives homework when appropriate and I leave the session feeling like a have a plan in place. I just love it! You will not feel disappointed working with her. She is wonderful.

Working with LaShawn has been wonderful! I've been seeing her for awhile now and it's like getting on the phone with a friend. She has helped me reflect and given me worksheets to help with my concerns. I feel like I have so much going on and she agrees but she helps me work through it bits at a time so it's less overwhelming and it helps!! I'm more aware of myself and am starting to feel more comfortable within myself with her guidance :)

Since starting with her I have seen such a significant difference in my healing and growth. AND IVE ONKY HAD ABOUT 4 SESSIONS! It’s the first time in a longgggg time that I feel safe and not dumb. I wish I could book longer sessions

LaShawn is encouraging and very insightful. Talking with her made me realize things I was afraid to admit and was very supportive in helping me visualize inspiring life changes.

LaShawn has been a God send, she has journey with me through thyroid cancer, and helping me push through back into the world.

We’ll we’ve only had one session so far but she stays connected with me through the week and has me journal writing daily and she is very supportive

She has been so thoughtful and helped me. She doesn't make it feel transactional at all and makes it feel like an equal partnership rather than just a 'therapist' and 'patient' relationship. She constantly makes me feel comfortable and safe and heard.

LaShawn is very knowledgeable and very helpful in helping me process trauma. I always feel the no judgement zone.

I am completely enjoying my first sessions with LaShawn. I can tell she is a great listener bc she took notes of what stood out to her most during my talking and was able to repeat them to me wt the end of our session. It made me feel like i was heard, and got me excited for my following sessions with her.

LaShawn is an extremely caring and supportive therapist. I enjoy my sessions when I am able to have them.

LaShawn has been truly supportive. I’ve only been in 2 sessions with her so far but she has always responded to my messages and gives me encouraging and supportive feedbacks regarding my Journal Entries. I’m always looking forward to speaking with her.

I haven't done therapy too often and my past experiences have been less than impactful. So much so that I just thought that it wasn't for me, and I could just press on without really addressing my mental health. LaShawn has changed my perspective on that greatly just in the few sessions we've had. Ignoring mental health can be detrimental, but an impactful therapist can be all the difference in finding meaning solutions to mental ailments.

Only had a few sessions with Lashawn and honestly each time I’m about to burst into tears of joy! She’s so amazing and I’m glad I finally have a therapist that meets all my requirements.
