DEONAE SHACKELFORD • LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker #121067

Hi, I’m Deonae, and I’m honored to support individuals on their journey toward healing, clarity, and self-discovery. I believe that true transformation begins with connection both with ourselves and with the people walking alongside us.

My passion is helping clients release the emotional weight they’ve carried, understand the roots of their patterns, and reconnect with their inner strength. I offer a warm, grounding, non-judgmental space where you can explore your story, process unresolved pain, and move toward a more empowered and aligned version of yourself.

My approach is holistic, honoring the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected pathways to healing. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating early childhood exploration (ages 0–7), inner child work, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices. Much of our work involves gently uncovering the beliefs and experiences shaped in childhood that influence present challenges. Clients describe my presence as sage, steady, and supportive, a grounded guide who walks with them as they heal old wounds and build new patterns with compassion and clarity.
