You're ambitious. You're capable. And you're exhausted in ways you can't always explain. If anxiety, burnout, or a life that no longer feels like yours brought you here — you're in the right place.

I'm Shirley Mathieu, LCSW — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience helping professional women reclaim their power, their peace, and themselves.

"She's relatable and made me feel comfortable opening up. She gives her open and honest opinion and never comes off offensive. She offers solutions to problems and that’s what I like about her the most."

You show up for your team, your family, your clients and somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. Maybe you're lying awake running through tomorrow's to-do list. Maybe a life change has left you questioning who you even are outside of your title. Maybe you're just tired of feeling like you're failing at everything by trying to do everything.

You don't have to keep carrying this alone. Therapy is where you finally get to put it down.

"Great, compassionate, and extremely therapeutic sessions! I felt like my time was valued and my concerns were addressed effectively and seamlessly. Thank you, DNA Counseling!"
