Shewayn Watson, LICSW

Shewayn Watson, LICSW

Psychotherapist
DC
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Washington, DC, Louisiana, and Texas, with a Master's in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. I focus on client-centered care and use evidence-based practices, which are crucial in helping individuals achieve their wellness goals. My primary focus is helping clients manage depression and anxiety while working toward their mental health goals. I believe that creating a safe space for talk therapy is fundamental to fostering trust and openness. My therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am most comfortable treating clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and grief. I create a supportive environment with a warm and enthusiastic tone, making sessions both enjoyable and engaging. With 30 years of experience in child welfare working with children and families, my journey into mental healthcare began after retirement. I was inspired to support individuals in reaching their mental health and wellness goals because many families served in child welfare are impacted by mental health challenges or adverse experiences. When setting goals, I prioritize understanding the client's primary concerns and the areas of their life they wish to change. This approach helps clients identify the ?how? and ?why? of change, which supports meaningful goal setting. During our first session, you can expect to build rapport by sharing your story and providing information that will lay the foundation for our work together.
