Adonai Q ShabazzClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I specialize working with individuals and couples of color helping with depression, anxiety, overcoming trauma, colorism, impacts of racism, uprooting cultural disparities and relationship challenges. I aim to teach or rebuild positive communication and conflict resolution skills. I also aim use evidence based interventions such as Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques with an Afrocentric worldview. I have a direct approach as well as value rapport building to empower my clients to adjust their thoughts feelings and behaviors. I hold clients accountable to their goals and expectations they set for themselves. My goal is to have my clients thinking about their choices and how the power of choosing something different can lead to the positive change we want to see. In this process, it may not feel good, your ego may be hurt, you may not like what I’m saying or pointing out, but I promise if you stick with the process you will come out stronger and empowered
