My name is LaShiela Darden, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Michigan State University, and I have been in the field of working with mental health clients for 35+ years. I’ve worked with all populations including children, adolescents, adults, and families. My specialty is in working with individuals who struggle with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Behavior issues in the school, Stress, Mood disorders, Relationship issues, and Coping skills. 

I believe mental health to be a significant part of our lives. How we think, feel, and respond to challenges in life can have a positive or negative impact on how we exist today. It is important to know what tools and strategies are necessary to accomplish healthy lifestyles. My purpose as a Clinician, is to empower those individuals and families to independently utilize tools to improve mental health. I look forward to working with you!
