Shalita Winston, LCSW

About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia with over 5 years of experience working as a social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and health issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and task centered counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
