About
La Shekia Smith-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is licensed to practice in both Arizona and Nevada and who is also certified as a clinical trauma professional. She brings focused expertise in areas such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family conflicts, grief, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She has seven years of experience providing therapy services and more than 18 years of experience in the broader field of health and human services. Her background includes roles as a day treatment teacher working with children who were severely emotionally disturbed and their families, case management in early intervention for infants and toddlers, and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities and related conditions.
In recent years she has offered clinical and behavioral consultation to individuals, families, and community group home providers, and she provides psychotherapy and clinical assessment for people experiencing depression, anxiety, dissociation, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder.
La Shekia approaches therapy with compassion and close attention to what clients are communicating. She prefers to view each person holistically and to develop treatment plans that may draw on multiple modalities rather than fitting everyone into a single method. She typically favors live video sessions over primarily messaging-based contact, finding video more engaging for clinical work.
She looks forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with people as they address challenges and build effective problem-solving strategies.
