Shontrice Avery

Hello, I'm Shontrice! I believe therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to shrink, filter, or over-explain yourself. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, anxiety, or simply trying to better understand yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity. I am a licensed therapist specializing in working with young adults and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. My primary area of focus is supporting individuals navigating sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs). Receiving a diagnosis can bring up feelings of shame, fear, anger, grief, or isolation; especially when it impacts dating, disclosure conversations, and self-worth. I am passionate about creating a space where we can process these experiences openly and without judgment. Together, we’ll explore patterns, strengthen boundaries, rebuild confidence, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and to others. I take a collaborative, culturally sensitive approach and believe growth happens when we feel both supported and gently challenged. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you reconnect with your voice, your power, and your sense of wholeness. If you’re ready to do the work and create meaningful change, I’d be honored to support you.
