Your Story Matters: Compassionate Care for Everyone

Shaune Martin, LCSW, LICSW

Psychotherapist and Counselor

As a retired U.S. Navy Submariner turned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring diverse experience working with all ages, couples, and families across crisis, intensive outpatient, and clinical settings.
 
Twenty years ago, during a personal struggle, a therapist told me, “You matter.” I carry that belief into my practice today: you are doing your best, and you matter. Life is challenging; my compassionate, strength-based approach is here to support you.
 
I offer a neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive, and veteran-supporting space—available both in-person and via telehealth. Please reach out through my site, text, or email for a free 15-minute consultation.
