Welcome to Empowering You Counseling! I'm Shakela Swinton, Licensed Mental Health Therapist. Empowering You Counseling is a mental health practice focused on helping you overcome life's challenges. Since the beginning of my career it’s been my passion to empower clients to become the best version of themselves in order to manifest all that life has to offer. My specialties are working with teens and young women with trauma backgrounds. I find that I am able to get on the same level as a teen, help them feel understood, and bridge the gap between them and their parents. I am also very passionate about helping women heal through trauma, particularly domestic violence. Many people cannot comprehend that torment, and that makes healing even more difficult. I try to provide relief for my clients, and I stay genuine to who I am as a human being, which makes me relatable and nonthreatening. If this sounds like a good fit, please feel free to reach out!
