Shelly Ware, LMFT

Hi, I’m Shelly! I specialize in Women’s Issues as well as Anxiety and  Trauma-informed care. If you’re a woman who takes care of everyone else’s needs but struggles to take care of your own I’m here to help you grow and set healthy boundaries

My expertise lies in supporting women on their journey toward healing.  I have been in love with the field of Psychology since high school. Immersing myself in the world of psychology quickly became a passion.

I truly believe that black people and people of color deserve to feel comfortable about going to therapy. My goal is to continue to destigmatize therapy for black individuals in various stages of life.

My expertise allows me to help Women in the following areas:

  • Anxiety
  • Fertility Challenges
  • Maternal Mental Health
  • Stepparenting & CoparentingChallenges
  • Trauma
  • Women’s Issues

Adrienne Diggs, LCSW

LCSW Clinical Therapist Grief & Loss Specialist

Hi, I’m Adrienne Diggs! My specialty is Grief and Loss. This specialty allows me to provide professional support to individuals during the most vulnerable stages of their lives. Many people initially think of death when they hear the phrase “grief and loss”.

Although I do help people through the loss of loved ones, it’s important for me to teach people that grief and loss apply to a wide range of common life situations. From death and divorce to dynamic life transitions and tough stagnant phases, I help you work through every symbolic loss.

Maybe you haven’t quite been able to secure the dream life you’ve always wanted. Let’s talk about it.

I’m eager to connect and help you through this challenging journey called life!

Our Significant Story To Holistic Healing

The Counseling Clinic first opened its doors in June of 2018. At that time, we offered our professional therapy services solely to stepfamilies and stepparents. As we learned more about the stepfamily community we realized there were industry gaps that needed to be filled.

We saw significant overlaps in grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and women’s issues. These specific topics were impacting the lives of women as well as the role and expectations placed upon them. This is when the internal expansion of The Counseling Clinic officially took place.

Now, our professional therapists not only work with stepfamilies and women but also work with those experiencing grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and parenting challenges.

 

Your Emotions Are Valid. Your Journey Is Unique.

 

We strongly believe in the principles of professionalism, kindness, and competence. Our online mental health services foster a supportive environment for our clients to heal, grow, and thrive.

The Counseling Clinic was founded by a highly-skilled black woman who specializes in our four service areas. We pride ourselves on being experts in our field who are committed to delivering high-quality services tailored to your specific needs.

As daily norms continue to shift, the practical skills we offer evolve with them. We never shy away from providing resources that will help you work through real-world issues. We are here to help you grow and plant peaceful roots in a valuable vision.

Our practical solutions will help you once again find fulfillment in your purpose.
