I value the importance of building rapport to establish a therapeutic relationship, working from a strength-based perspective while honoring and validating each client’s experiences and resilience.
Shawn Deverteuil is a Licensed Master Social Worker from Adelphi University. He has an array of experience working with young and older adults, providing trauma-informed mental health services within nonprofit organizations, and serving on the front lines providing clinical services for community members, organizations, and individuals impacted by violence.
Shawn has worked to increase the knowledge around mental health and the intersectionalities between race, masculinity, systems, violence, trauma, and trauma reactions seen in young boys and young men nationally through presentations, workshops, and conferences. His approach is eclectic, rooted in trauma-focused cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic and humanistic modalities, and he utilizes play and creative arts to serve youth and adults who struggle with trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and identity, and overall life stressors.
I was referred to Transformation Counseling Services because I wanted and needed to work with African American/Black counselors to help me process some of my thoughts after a car crash involving myself and my child. I highly recommend them to Black folk and folk of color but I see how their services are for any human who needs to process any aspect of their life to unclog or make clear issues that are rooted in trauma or traumatic experiences.
Shawn created a space where I finally felt safe talking about things I'd carried alone for years. His approach to trauma work changed how I see my own resilience.
As a young man, I never thought therapy was for me until I worked with Shawn. He gets it — no judgment, just real conversation and real tools.
