Ebony Shoemo, LPC

Ebony Shoemo guides people through a process she calls digging - helping them uncover the courage and the pieces needed to make meaningful change. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and holds the credential LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates state licensure in clinical counseling. She is also a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors.

With five years of experience across community mental health settings and the public school system, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered stance, where the individual leads the work and is regarded as the expert on their own life. She integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness, solution-focused brief interventions, social skills training, and relaxation strategies to address a range of concerns.

Her clinical specialties include trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, ADHD, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include post-traumatic stress, first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, domestic violence, blended family dynamics, communication and control challenges, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose and forgiveness.

As a veteran, wife, and mother, Ebony brings both professional training and personal perspective to her work, with a particular commitment to serving those who have served. When she is not supporting others, she enjoys hiking, exercising, and relaxing with family and a good movie. She approaches therapy as a collaborative journey and looks forward to supporting people as they dig for the strengths and resources that foster growth.
