Shirnel Alleyne-Grant, LPC

Shirnel Alleyne-Grant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. The LPC credential indicates licensure as a professional counselor, reflecting formal training and state approval to provide clinical care. She began her career in inpatient mental health settings working with children and young adults who had experienced severe trauma, then moved into care management roles for managed care companies before founding My Caring Counseling, a private practice intended to offer a creative and supportive environment for healing.

Her clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, life stressors and major transitions, midlife concerns, low self-esteem, interpersonal conflict, couples therapy, and a range of intimacy-related and family issues. She also works with clients facing caregiver stress, fertility and infidelity concerns, workplace and career challenges, feelings of isolation, and multicultural issues related to prejudice and discrimination. Shirnel integrates evidence-based and experiential methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, using client-centered therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, mindfulness approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Her approach also draws on supportive and movement-based methods to address cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects of well-being.

Colleagues and training have informed a warm, empathetic, and attentive style that emphasizes listening, collaboration, and practical strategies for change. As a therapist from a diverse cultural background who has completed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training, she prioritizes inclusive care for young adults, older adults, and couples. She supports clients who wish to explore self-healing and to create meaningful change in their lives, guiding them through transitions and toward clearer purpose and improved relationships.
