Shomaya McFarland, LPC

Shomaya McFarland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 13 years of experience in mental health, including roles as a counselor, crisis therapist, counselor supervisor, and case manager.

She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger issues, interpersonal difficulties, and problems with focus. Her style is informal and relaxed, and she approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

McFarland often works with those whose symptoms are mild to moderate or with people who want a safe space to express themselves. She supports clients who wish to address attachment concerns in relationships, manage stress, or work through emotions, frustrations, and disappointments they may not feel comfortable sharing with friends or family.

Her therapeutic niche emphasizes active listening and clear feedback, creating an environment in which clients can feel comfortable being themselves and pursuing the changes they want. She helps clients consider alternatives and believes it is possible to move in a new direction at any stage of life.

She does not position herself as the best fit for treating trauma or deep-rooted childhood emotional wounds, but she addresses work stress, relationship and communication problems, LGBTQ+ concerns, emotional processing, parenting challenges including difficult child behavior, family conflicts, forgiveness, navigating breakups or divorce, infidelity, and common life transitions.

Shomaya McFarland supports and empowers people as they work toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
