Meet Shardell Viatonu, LCPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a person centered approach to treatment. This is your journey. In a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere, you will feel supported as you regain your strength and hope in life.

For the past 7 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, family, and group settings. I have counseled individuals with various mental health diagnoses to include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bi-polar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and other disorders.

Though I primarily use a person centered and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach to treatment, other counseling techniques, including Christian based therapy, are incorporated based on your individual need. I am culturally sensitive, trauma informed, and have your best interests at heart.

Personally, I am originally from Jamaica. I am a Christian living in Maryland with my family of 6 (my biological daughter, 3 awesome step-children, and my amazing husband Bankole). I enjoy cooking, poetry, writing, family activities, learning about different cultures and places, a good story, and music. I have a passion for women's ministry and currently facilitate a monthly women's spiritual support group.

What is your story? I can't wait to hear your story (the good and the bad) in hopes that we can rewrite some chapters. Hope to see you soon!
