About Shuwanda

Shu Hudson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She received her Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from North Park University. Shu thrives in providing a compassionate, client-centered space where individuals feel seen, heard, and supported in their healing journey. Her approach integrates evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a deep focus on uncovering and understanding core emotions—those powerful, often hidden feelings that drive our thoughts, behaviors, and relational patterns. Shu also has specialized training in yoga and mindfulness, that enables her to bring a somatic awareness to therapy, helping clients reconnect with their bodies as a source of wisdom, grounding, and emotional regulation.

Shu works with adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. She practices from a multicultural, LGBTQ+, poly, kink-affirming lens, and her goal is to guide each client toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a more empowered relationship with themselves and others.
