Shanice Bernard, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Hello and welcome! My name is Shanice Bernard, and I am a licensed professional counselor. I have found that I really enjoy working with members of marginalized and minority communities including the LGBTQIA+ community, people of color, and those within the Kink/BDSM/alternative lifestyle communities. My approach to counseling utilizes a combination of skills and techniques derived from humanistic/person-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapies. I believe that the client is the agent of change, and it is my job to help you get to where you want and need to be. Because of this, I prefer an eclectic approach that allows the treatment to be tailored to the individual. I strive to bring transparency and respect to all my sessions, and I attempt to set this tone from our first visit. As a result of the ongoing pandemic, I am currently operating through telehealth means only. My hope is that after the pandemic ends, I will be able to provide a mixture of in-person and telehealth options to better suit the client and their needs. Life can be challenging at times and can make it hard to ask and receive help – especially during this challenging time. You have already made the first step by reaching out and I cannot wait to help you on your journey.
