Shomaya McFarland , LPC

Shomaya McFarland is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 13 years of experience across multiple roles in mental health, including counselor, crisis therapist, counselor supervisor, and case manager. She has worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger management, interpersonal challenges, and difficulties with focus. Shomaya's approach is informal and relaxed while maintaining respect, sensitivity, and compassion for each person's experience.

She often works with individuals whose symptoms are mild to moderate or those seeking an empathetic space to express themselves and process emotions. Common areas she addresses include attachment issues, stress, pent-up emotions, frustrations, disappointments, and communication problems. Her practice emphasizes active listening and thoughtful feedback to help clients feel safe to explore change and consider alternatives for moving forward.

Shomaya notes that she may not be the best fit for people seeking intensive trauma work or deep exploration of childhood emotional wounds at this time. She is a good match for clients navigating work-related stress, relationship and communication issues, LGBTQ concerns, parenting challenges, family dynamics, forgiveness, breakups or divorce, infidelity, and other common life changes. Seeking support can be a courageous step, and Shomaya aims to empower clients to pursue more fulfilling and meaningful lives through practical guidance and encouragement.
