Hello
My name is Ra'Shunda Adams and I'm a LMFT-Associate, supervised by Dr. Mercedes Moore & Dr. Staats, and I am a couples and relationship therapist. I specializes in working with couples and individuals who are wanting to move past the blame and shame of their actions, to being able to prioritize understanding what is going on within themselves, with their partner, and key relationships BEFORE trying to “solve the problem”.
My Journey
I have always been passionate about healthy relationships being the cornerstone for healthy families. I have over 16 years of experience providing premarital counseling, a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and use my client-centered therapeutic approach, to provide the best techniques and interventions for my client's particular situation. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are willing to rewrite the stories that are no longer leading them to have fulfilling relationships and deeper connections with their partners or with their children.
Family & Fun
I've been married for more than 16 years and have 3 beautiful kids that keep me on my toes! I am a sneaker enthusiast, but can't afford to be a true sneaker head because of kids, iykyk. I'm also a podcast co-host, of The B-Side of Marriage Podcast (with with my husband), where we talk about all things related to relationships and marriage - the good, the bad, and the real. I am also a sucker for wearing matching couples gear and a good graphic tee with a message! Check out our store for your matching gear.
What Does Therapy With Me Look Like?
I know choosing a therapist is a personal and challenging decision, which I do not take lightly. Because of that, therapy with me goes at the pace that you are comfortable with. Our first sessions will look like you providing me with background information and how your current issues are preventing you from having the relationships that you desire. I will not challenge you, initially, and pushing you too hard because most of the people I work with, are already good at criticizing and judging themselves. I like to begin with showing you different ways to offer up self-compassion and grace to yourself before getting into the weeds of things. I am here to support you to better understand what's going on in your different relationships, but more importantly, understand what is going on within yourself.
