DeShelle Burrowes, NCC, LPC, CLC

09/25/2025

As I see I have quite a few new followers and so I want to take the time to introduce myself… I’m DeShelle Burrowes, a Somatic Trauma Psychotherapist, that curates brave spaces for women on their pathway to wellness to work through issues that feel isolating and trauma that feels earth shattering.

I support women through some of the most difficult experiences that they’ve had in life and to those who are the strong ones and need their own shoulder to lean on. This is not easy work but it is soo needed for our community to heal.

I am big on building rapport so that you feel comfortable with letting go of the ish you’ve been holding on to for a lifetime, as well as ensuring you have identified positive coping skills to help you manage as you heal. It’s imperative to me that I assist you in operating outside of my office where you can handle this world more grounded and equipped.

Is therapy easy? No, but is it beneficial…
absolutely!!! Therapy can help normalize feelings you have of “I’m the only one dealing with this”, “No one gets me mentality”, as well as holding true to the strong friend who needs to be heard and supported too!!! When was the last time you were able to breathe because you were able to lay all your burdens down? That you were able to express your increased anxiety, address intimacy issues that you struggle with in silence and express yourself without your friends butting in with their issues?

Issues that I’ve worked with include but are not limited to…
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma
- Postpartum issues
- Perimenopause
- Autoimmune diseases
- S*xual issues
- Body image issues

All things that prevent you from living the life you deserve. And you deserve to be happy, whole, well rested and well loved by not only others around you but by yourself as well.

I’ve worked with the Corporate baddies to those in the entertainment industry to a struggling mom who sees no end in sight, as well as a wife who’s had it up to here.

I’m big on your healing and checking in with your body because your body (Soma) is where Trauma is held. I’m into Talk therapy but I also delve deeper into bodywork (Somatics) and introduce you into allowing your body to trust YOU again.

As Black women we come with deep wounds that require a therapist with a particular set of skills and I think I am more than capable in supporting you on your pathway to wellness. Even if youre working with a therapist currently, I am open to working with her in tandem in order for you to work through your extremely difficult life experiences.

If this resonates with where you are in your journey, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, if your history of traumas is strangling you and preventing you from making the connections that are important to you, your partner, your spouse, your family and friends, then we need to talk. Let’s set up a FREE, virtual 15-30 minute consultation where we can meet,
you can get all of your questions answered and we can decide IF I’m the therapist for you.

And guess what, it’s okay if you don’t think we are a good fit!!! It’s my hope that you find the therapist that resonates with you and supports YOUR journey so it would be my honor to provide you with a couple of therapists that you may feel more comfortable with. Your wellness is of the utmost importance to me, not filling up my calendar.

Now you may say, hmm… I’m intrigued but I possibly can’t afford her, I actually do take some insurances in GA and FL and have just starting seeing clients in South Carolina where I currently accept Aetna but hopefully I’ll be expanding in this area more as well.

Check me out on my website where you can request that FREE, virtual consultation that we spoke about…

And let your healing journey begin. It’s time for you to make room for the most important person in your life… YOU!!!!

Currently, I’m close to be filled so that submission form says this; however, I’m not full yet!!!! Gone fill out that form and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can to meet you, to hear you and to support you.

If anything I’ve said in this post resonates with you, then SHARE, SHARE, SHARE it with your community, even your best friend. I’m the best listener and secret keeper and I can work with you both 😉.

It would be my pleasure to support you on your pathway to wellness. ❤️

I AM TRULY BLESSED AND HERE’s ONE of the reasons…

My little support group, The Mommy Tribe, that could has made it for 5 years!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I am in full disbelief that these women have continued to show up month after month to get the community and support that they desire during this special time in their lives.

The Mommy Tribe started with the help of a local Pregnancy clinic in person. Due to my beliefs of everyone deserves support, we had to eventually part ways. The clinic tried to keep my group’s name but the Director told them it was mine and I’d brought the concept to them.

I continued with this group, taking no breaks, and we have gone 3 MORE YEARS with the Mommas, their babies and me and I’m so grateful every 1st Saturday that they bless the group with their presence.

This group isn’t about me. It’s about every mom that’s decided to join for themselves and their families. It’s about every mom that has shown up and left feeling more connected, heard and supported… I LOVE EVERY ONE OF YA’LL!!!

Family, this group is FREE, virtual and full of love!!! If you know any EXPECTING and/or NEW MOM that could use a Tribe, please have them join us Today and every 1st Saturday of the month!!!

Thank you to every Mom that has graced The Mommy Tribe with your presence!!! We couldn’t have done it without you!!!

Happy Birthday to The Mommy Tribe!!! 🎉🎉🎉

To the woman who didn’t sleep well last night…
It could have been due to hot flashes, night sweats, ruminating thoughts or anxiety but this experience is hard to deal with even when having time to recuperate on your days off…
This can throw the rest of your day into a tailspin.

What does the rest of the day look like for you?
- Extremely exhaustion
- Mood swings
- Being short with people
- Paranoia
- Heart palpitations
- Increased Anxiety

None of this feels well. These signs and symptoms can mimic mental health conditions and I’ve met many women who’ve experienced this but guess what?!?!

Did you know it could also be Perimenopause?!?!

How do I know?!?!

Because I’ve experienced some of these symptoms and felt isolated because at the time I only had one friend who was openly expressing similar concerns.

Well, that’s changing!!! What if you had a community of women who are going through the same things and they are able to normalize your experience?

That’s what The ‘Pause is, a community of women coming together to support each other through one of the most difficult times of your life.

I Wish I had this community when my symptoms started but here I am offering this revolutionary support group to you.

Join us for this AMAZING group where you will feel supported, held, heard and encouraged.

Fill out the form below to join. You don’t have to walk this walk alone.

➡️ https://forms.gle/oFc3obLKpSneTRz76

Space limited due to the community we are building!!!

I’d love to see you feeling better and getting some much needed answers to help you make it through Perimenopause.

A year ago, September, I wasn’t feeling quite like myself. A few years back, I’d been diagnosed with Anxiety. I was having similar symptoms but this was different. I wasn’t sleeping well at all so my anxiety was through the roof. I was crying and laughing at the same time… from sheer exhaustion. I’d spoken with my doctors and because I wasn’t in Menopause, they said there was nothing I could do about it.

I called my mom, my aunts, my cousins and they just laughed and said “Yep!!! You’re there!!” But where was I exactly? What do I do there? And how do I get out of “there” fast???? None of them said anything more than that.

And as spoke with other women, I realized they were struggling to with similar stories but we all felt, isolated, alone and fearful of how long would we feel this way.

I begin to have women coming into my practice with similar concerns, some mentioned Depression, Anxiety, Restlessness and hot flashes, thinking they had a mental health issue, not a hormonal issue. I began to educate them on my experiences and what I’ve learned. These women were relieved to know that they weren’t alone in this and my support for them began.

I’d love to offer this same gift to you, as a support group, with other women friends with similar challenges and experiences. This would allow you to feel heard, support and safe to share your feelings about this stage of life.

If this sounds like something you know you need.

If you’re tired of not knowing how to cope.

If you’re tired of the mood shifts, hot flashes and itchy skin, let’s come together to discuss, support and love on each other.
