S Watson Counseling Services

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 18 days ago

Hello and welcome!
My name is Shannon Watson, LCSW, BACS, and I am the owner of S. Watson Counseling Services in Metairie, Louisiana.
If you're looking for a therapist, I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in your life. I work with children (ages 5+), teens, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, or self-esteem concerns.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help clients develop practical coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and achieve their personal goals.
As a retired Army National Guard veteran, African American female therapist, divorced single mother, and licensed clinical social worker, I understand that life's challenges can feel overwhelming at times. My goal is to provide a safe space where healing, growth, and hope can begin.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to make counseling accessible and convenient.
If you're ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I would be honored to support you.
