I’m Shavez Pinestraw, the founder of Colors of Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). Additionally, I hold an out-of-state telehealth registration that allows me to provide services in the state of Florida. I help individuals and couples make sense of their inner world—uncovering the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape how they feel, relate, and move through life.

With a Master’s in Counseling and a background in Psychology, I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges such as emotional disconnection, communication barriers, and infidelity.

As a Black male therapist, I create a space where Black men, and all BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clients can explore their stories without judgment. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-driven, helping you understand the roots of your struggles while building healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

My goal is to help you connect the dots between past and present, deepen your self-understanding, and create lasting change in your life and relationships.
