I received my MS in Rehabilitation Counseling, in May 2007, from Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina and my BA degree in Psychology in May 2004 from Bennett College for Women. I am a fully Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I have over 19 years of experience in mental health and have been licensed as a mental health counselor for 10 years.

Let's be real, life can be a bit heavy to deal with on your own. But here, you are welcome to be your full authentic self. You can just be you – no need to pretend you have it all figured out or to apologize for feeling overwhelmed. If you're seeking someone to sit with you through it all, to help you navigate your emotions, identity, and experiences, I'm here for you, especially if you're dealing with trauma. I believe in a strength-based approach to working together to shape your therapeutic experience. Your counseling journey will be all about you – your needs, your interests, your goals.

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 20 years and have been providing clinical care since 2011. I’ve worked with first responders crisis settings and provided services to first responders in a therapeutic environment. I work a lot with domestic violence, sexual trauma, and human trafficking. I pull from several modalities including CBT, trauma-focused CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solutions focused, strength-based, and reality therapy. I like working with people who are motivated to improve their lives. Because I work with such a wide range of issues, I can be helpful and supportive in many different areas.

Therapy starts with meeting you where you are at. Whether you have recently lost a loved one, started experiencing trouble at school, work, or home, or feel that you need a safe environment to talk about your concerns, I am here to help and start on your journey with you.

Take the time to invest in yourself through therapy. For well over a decade, I have been honored to work with people from all walks of life. I have found that growth comes when we slow down and invest time in exploring our own beliefs, relationships, and behaviors. Sometimes we need a guide to help make sense of that process: a therapist. For over a decade I have honed my skills in working with grief, trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, anxiety, disordered eating, obesity, caregiver stress, women's issues, and more. While I am trained and certified in various modalities, treatment is tailored to each patient's goals

Our work is dedicated to helping ALL people develop healthy, satisfying, productive, and meaningful lives. Though it can be difficult to make the decision to begin therapy, we have found that those who have sought help and take responsibility for their emotional heath and relationships have achieved remarkable results. People come to us for a variety of reasons: they may be in transition, experiencing work stress, grieving a loss, struggling with religious or family ideals which no longer suit them, a new parent experiencing anxiety. Some have begun to feel daily life is stagnant, seeking more direction and purpose in their lives.

Have you ever felt the world heavy on your shoulders or find it difficult to express thoughts or feelings? Do you feel stuck, and would like someone to listen and provide insight and relief? Do you struggle with emotional overwhelm and intrusive thoughts? I aim to provide the most effective therapeutic approach utilizing evidence-based strategies and techniques that will help you identify and change distortions in thinking. You will learn coping skills and acquire the tools necessary to manage thoughts and feelings while incorporating mindfulness to help you return to the best level of functioning.

Greetings, and thank you for visiting my Psychology Today Profile. My name is Shawn Roberson and I am the founder of Sunshine Counseling & Consulting Services, PLLC, based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, I offer comprehensive virtual and in-person counseling services across the state. Holding licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), I bring a wealth of experience in Behavioral Health Services, with a professional journey that spans working with a wide range of clients, from children to adults in their middle years.

I am so glad that you stopped by and took the time to read about me and explore the possibility of working together.Getting started is always the hardest part of any road to change. Deciding who you are going to trust with your information is also an important part of your new beginnings. I want to be supportive of your goals and work together in discovering how you can reach and surpass them. In my time away from being a therapist, the most important thing to me is my family - my wife and three young children - and spending as much of my time with them that I can. I enjoy hiking, fishing, cooking and reading when I have the time.

First of all, let me take this time to let you know how brave you are for reaching out. Life is challenging and when you feel as though the weight of it is too heavy to bear, it can be difficult to take that step and reach out to combat the difficult feelings. I want to assist you in this journey to take control of your life. Whether you are dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, a personality disorder, or anything that is keeping you from living your best life, I can help you reach your goals.

Therapy is all about growth for an individual. Growth can sometimes be a scary thing. Oftentimes, growth feels like staring into the darkness with the expectation of walking forward without falling. Whether you struggle with mental illness or you just need extra support in life, I can help you walk through the darkness of the unknown. The beautiful thing that therapy offers is this: you can create your own light. As we walk through the darkness, you will begin to see more and more light. Gradually, the path will become more clear and YOU can choose the next direction.

We all have times when we struggle with feelings of being sad, anxious or depressed, grieving over the loss of a loved one, going through a transition in life, having low self-esteem, experiencing relationship problems, or just feeling low or "off." These and other forms of conflict can be overwhelming.
