Shawnnell Batiste
Psychotherapist - LPC
VIDEO
Hello Cyclebreakers, I am Shawnnell, Your Barrier Breaking, Master Level, No Bullshitting Licensed Professional Counselor. I founded Choosing Empowerment with a mission to eliminate and/or reduce barriers that reduce the likelihood of marginalized and Disenfranchised communities seeking help. Our focus is to provide Mental Health & Wellness services to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Foster/Adoptive Families, and formerly incarcerated individuals, among other marginalized & disenfranchised communities. We do this by offering Psychotherapy virtually to people of all ages in my native state of Louisiana, my resident state of Texas, as well as internationally. I also offer Mental Health and Wellness Life Coaching beyond the boundaries of my Licensed states. Choosing Empowerment LLC’s foundation rests on the POWER of CHOICE and the POWER of HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. I take seriously my role as a Mental Health Advocate, Speaker, Author, and Leader in the Community, and I am equally as dedicated in my quest to remain honest, informative, straightforward, compassionate, non-judgmental, and understanding. I believe in accountability and empowering my clients and everyone around me to do the work needed to heal and become their best and highest versions of themselves. You are invited to start or continue your healing journey here in this safe space of The Cyclebreaking Village.
