Shervon Laurice, MS, LCPC

Shervon Laurice, MS, LCPC, is a licensed clinical professional counsellor in Silver Spring, Maryland, and the founder of Restore Tranquility, a small practice serving clients in DC, Maryland and Virginia and online. Her own work combines psychotherapy and yoga therapy with mindfulness-based psychedelic therapy, harm reduction and integration.

Approach

Laurice holds a master’s in pastoral counselling and a credential as a mindfulness-based psychedelic therapist, and is also a certified life coach and yoga therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She started out as a teenage peer counsellor in New York during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, and says yoga, psychotherapy and psychedelic work all helped her through fibromyalgia and chronic pain in her 30s. Her sessions pair CBT with mindfulness and yoga, and she treats therapy as a collaboration in which client and therapist are both committed to the work.

Who it is for

She works with people living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, and with ambitious professionals dealing with burnout, self-doubt or a change of direction. Another therapist at the practice focuses on ADHD, young adults and first responders.

Practical details

Sessions run in person in Silver Spring or online, weekly, every two weeks or monthly, depending on need. Fees range from $200 to $2,900, and a free consultation comes first.
