I specialize in working with women and children who are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relational challenges.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or carrying pain that feels hard to explain—you’re not alone. Whether it’s anxiety that won’t quiet down, past trauma that still impacts your present, or the weight of something like chronic illness or loss, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and practical. I use evidence-based methods like EMDR (trauma therapy), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while also offering Christian counseling for those who want to incorporate their faith into the healing process. I also provide SYMBIS pre-marital and marital counseling, and conflict resolution.

Hello and welcome to your journey of healing! My name is Shandria R. Woodall and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 5 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings and with diverse populations. I have worked with several non-profit organizations, in the school setting as a school-based therapist, in the child-welfare system and in private practice.

My work was in community-based setting before moving into private practice. I conceptualize challenges holistically and respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness. Treatment with me blends insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum.

I have been practicing for over 20 years working with motivated clients who want to learn more about themselves.

I believe healing is built through connection, trust, and feeling understood. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel safe throughout the therapeutic process.

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and other emotional concerns. I recognize that each person’s experience is unique, so I tailor therapy to your specific needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Instead of directing you, I work with you to build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect.

Whether working individually, with couples, or with families, my focus is to help you better understand yourself and your relationships, navigate challenges more effectively, and build resilience. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with tools to support lasting growth and well-being.

My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.

Helping Women Heal from Betrayal, Reclaim Their Identity, and Rebuild Trust in Themselves

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about helping women who feel like they’ve lost themselves find their way back to who they truly are. My background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex relationship experiences. I specialize in supporting women who are healing from betrayal, emotional wounds, and identity struggles—especially those who appear “strong” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain within.

I take a warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate approach to therapy. I believe you shouldn’t have to filter yourself or have it all together to be supported. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin rebuilding your sense of self with clarity and confidence.

As a Christian, I understand the importance of faith in the healing journey and can incorporate spiritual reflection in a way that feels supportive and empowering—if that aligns with your values.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Counseling, and my work is rooted in evidence-based practices while also honoring the emotional, relational, and (if important to you) spiritual parts of your healing.

Congratulations on your courageous decision to seek help! Self-awareness is the first step to change and I go above and beyond to help those like you who choose to actively help themselves. Understand that the path to self-discovery and growth is not easy. It involves commitment, personal investment, and a desire to delve into the process of growth, healing, and self-love.

I'm Nicole a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor based in Altamonte Springs, FL, with a master's in Counseling from Barry University. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, relational challenges, life transitions, and personal growth — and bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life myself, I deeply understand the journey of discovering your own strengths and building a life that works for you, not against you.
