Shevonda Byers, MSW, LCSWA

My name is Shevonda Byers and I am pleased to share more about myself with you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. I have over 15 years experience working with children and families. My education includes a Masters of Social Work Degree from Fordham University as well as a Bachelors of Social Work Degree from Saint Joseph College. I am married and a mother of two wonderful children. My favorite things to do are to travel the world in search of beautiful beaches, shop, fine dine, read all types of books, garden, decorate, and laugh a lot with positive people. I can hardly wait to get to know more about you. As a therapist, I offer Solutions and Strengths Based Perspectives to my clients. I believe in listening and validating my clients from their frame of reference. It is my goal to provide non-biased and non-judgmental support and encouragement to each person I meet with. In practice I utilize Cognitive Based Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Solutions Based and Internal Family Systems theories to intervene with clients. Additional treatment methods I use in practice are dialogue, play therapy, narrative therapy, psycho education, relaxation, safe space/containment, goal setting, positive decision making, various art therapy techniques, reframing and challenging negative thoughts.
