no checklists. no clinical lectures. just meaningful conversations. done with you, not at you! 
You’re probably feeling the tension between who you were trained to be and who you actually are — competent, capable, and yet exhausted.
If you’re landing here, you might be:You’re running on empty.
Questioning your impact.
Wondering how to sustain yourself while showing up fully for clients.
Here, we slow down long enough to track your energy, honor your nervous system, and rebuild a practice & a life that fits your natural rhythm.
It’s not about molding you into someone else’s idea of “good enough.” It’s about helping you become the helper you were meant to be.
That’s exactly why I do burnout differently!your solution is personalized & rooted in your energetic blueprintBurnout isn’t solved by massages or surface-level self-care. You need tools that actually land in your body, your nervous system, and your daily practice. As a helper, you’re exposed to secondary trauma, chronic stress, and emotional overflow every day.
Generic advice won’t cut it — you need support designed for your energy, your rhythm, and your humanity.
This is where I come in. Support and mentorship with me isn’t about logging hours or checking boxes… It’s about creating space where you can learn, grow, and sustain yourself, while showing up fully for others.
this space is for therapists, healers, & helpers who:Feel stretched between expectations and their own rhythm
Want supervision, mentorship, or guidance that meets them where they are
Crave practices that are grounded in nervous-system awareness, not just “self-care platitudes”
Are ready to explore new ways of working, living, and leading without burning out
If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place.
As a Therapist, Texas LPC Supervisor, and Wellness Educator with 25 years of experience, I weave therapy, human design, and nervous-system awareness into everything I create — whether it’s supervision, mentorship, or travel experiences designed for helpers.
It’s not about becoming a “better professional.” It’s about becoming a more integrated human who practices regulation, integrity, and curiosity.
I work with therapists, healers, & helpers through:Supervision & Mentorship — real-world guidance that centers your humanity as much as your credentials.
Human Design Reading — map your energy, uncover hidden patterns, and translate your chart through the lens of lived experience. Insight that lands in your body and guides action.
Wellness & Travel Experiences — intentional retreats and immersive adventures to reset your nervous system, spark creativity, and expand perspective.
Everything connects. Everything is designed to help you stay human, aligned, and thriving in your work.

10 Years as a Texas Board-Approved Supervisor

do you remember why you chose to become a therapist, healer or helper?You didn’t become a helper to check boxes, follow scripts, or burn yourself out. You became one to witness, guide, and transform — but only if you’re whole enough to show up.
Our journey begins by grounding you back into your body, your energy & where your true wisdom resides. Together, we’ll:
-
Break the burnout cycle
You’ll leave with tools and practices that aren’t just theoretical — they land in your body, your practice, and your life.
-
Unpack from societal norms
Understanding and deprogramming from the beliefs, narratives & stories that make you feel like you’re not ready or not good enough.
-
Anchor in your strengths
This space is where doubt, exhaustion, and curiosity collide and move toward clarity, regulation, and confidence.
-
Create your helper identity
Build a way of practicing that actually feels true, aligned, and uniquely you.
I help helping professionals and humans-in-the-messy-middle reimagine mental health, wellness, and work. Through unfiltered conversations about life’s chaos, travel as medicine, and breaking free from systems that don’t fit. I show that growth doesn’t have to look polished, perfect, or traditional. It’s about finding your own way — beyond burnout, beyond the rules, and beyond the box.

![Shawna Lovin, LPC-S | LPC Supervision • Human Design • Wellness Travel for Therapists, Healers & Helpers]()
Hey y’all… I’m Shawna!
I’m a 3/5 Emotional Projector, think of me as your work BFF - who happens to be a Therapist, Texas LPC Supervisor, Coordinator of Chaos, Energy Manager, LEO Wife, Mama, and a total tree-hugging badass who swears by natural alternatives. Oh, and I’m also a recovering overthinking, people-pleasing perfectionist!
You deserve a supervisor who actually gets it—someone who's been dismissed, silenced, and sidelined, just like you. Asking for help in this field can feel like walking into a snooty club where you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing.
With over two decades of experience, I’ve seen so many new therapists trying to find their footing, while balancing the messy middle between being human & being a professional. And, grad school gave you the foundation, but it didn’t prepare you for everything, especially not the emotional weight of this work. We all know not all the goodies were in that toolbox!
Dealing with other people’s chaos and trauma isn’t for the faint of heart. However, being a confident therapist doesn't mean having all the answers; it means you know how to embrace your humanity, flaws and all, while still showing up for your clients.
That's where I come in. I'm here to disrupt the status quo. Together, we’ll conquer burnout, learn how to hold trauma without it consuming you, and help you step into the resilient, grounded, and badass therapist you were always meant to be.
former lpc associate“I came to Shawna after there were some issues with my previous Supervisor. She truly cares and genuinely wants to help clinicians succeed. Shawna typically operates outside of the box but shows up authentically and encourages others to do the same. I appreciate her open-mindedness and eagerness to explore new ideas. I have had a great experience with Shawna.”
former lpc associate“I went to Shawna in a very vulnerable state. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep my license. She listened to me, guided me, and took me under her wing. I now own a group practice and I run a nonprofit. I oversee several other therapists. None of it could have happened without her.”
you don’t have to survive this work — you were meant to evolve through it.
Whether you’re looking for supervision hours, guidance on building your practice, tools for self-regulation, or intentional experiences to restore your nervous system, this space meets you where you are.
Let’s explore where you are, what you need, and how we can work together to keep you whole while you do the work that changes lives.
Welcome to Between a Hot Mess and a Therapist Podcast…Your not-so-typical self-help podcast for helping professionals, where we unpack the messy middle of mental health, travel, and life beyond the box!

want to learn more about your energetic blueprint ?Human Design is the fastest way to break up with burnout!
hey y’all, i’m shawna!
Welcome to Healing Roots… I’m an experienced Therapist and Wellness Educator, a total tree-hugging spiritual badass, and someone who's learned through a lot of trial and error.
I’m not just another counselor, therapist, health & wellness coach, or doctor who’s going to give you the same strategies that are not sustainable. I’m not going to tell you to suck it up because this is your life, either.
I happen to have 25 years of experience, as a Therapist and Wellness Educator, I noticed therapists, healers, & helpers are often…
1. Not being heard and dismissed regarding your concerns, and you typically don’t ask for help because you are afraid of stigma, retaliation, and the appearance of looking weak;
2. Not taught practical applications of self-regulation; and
3. Frequently gaslighted into being a follower by using judgment, micro-aggressions, and reinforcing negative societal norms.
Now I’m on a mission to help you unapologetically stand in your power to advocate for yourself, have EMOTIONAL sanity, support your self-liberation journey, and help you explore your new boundaries, while normalizing and navigating everyday life, WITHOUT consistent worry, while becoming a therapist.
I mindfully guide you to create intentional and sustainable small changes to simplify your daily self-regulation routines, so that you don’t feel overwhelmed by changes.
Why? Because, if you have too many changes at once, sticking to lifestyle changes won’t last, and you will be back to square one.
I am living proof that you don’t have to follow the prescribed plan and still be successful.
So, I’m here to help you embody self-care to prevent burnout, manage secondary trauma, and become the best therapist!
my clinical approach...is based on solution-focused and incorporates other practices and skills, such as ecotherapy, coaching, coping skills, self-care, mindfulness, somatic practices, human design, emotional regulation, and herbal remedies for new LPC Associates seeking Texas-based Clinical Supervision.
My style is very conversational, direct, warm, supportive, and a guiding collaborative relationship. You will hear the use of metaphors, and we will have lots of laughs. As a Heart-Centered Counselor, I am passionate about cultivating personal awareness and connection with self, others, and the environment to improve both mental well-being and physical health. I value that all aspects of life and experiences are deeply interconnected and through collaboration, education, and empowerment, I can offer valuable insight for your journey into sustainability and well-being.

faq’s-
Where are supervision sessions? Generally, we meet on Wednesdays. You can choose the morning or evening session. However, during summer months and sometimes during the holidays, we will meet 2 Saturadys a month. If you miss supervision, it will be your responsibility to notify me and rescheduled a 1:1 session based upon availability.
How do I track my hours? You will have access to an electronic tracking system to use, but are not required to to use it. If you choose not to use the tracking system, you will be required to submit your hours monthly for review.
What if I need support or emergency consultation outside of supervision? You will have the ability to contact me via text message, phone or email. -
1. What if I’m just starting and don’t have a clear vision for my practice yet?
No worries! Practice by Design is a masterclass designed to help you uncover your unique vision, from aligning with your core values to shaping a practice that fits your life. Through guided exercises, personal reflection, and hands-on workshops, you’ll gain clarity on what you want your practice to look and feel like.
2. Will I have a concrete plan to launch my practice by the end of the retreat?
Absolutely! By the end of the masterclass, you’ll have a tailored roadmap, including key steps for intake, scheduling, pricing, and messaging. Each session builds on the last, giving you actionable takeaways so you can leave with a clear launch plan.
3. I’m already established but feeling burnt out. Is this retreat still for me?
Yes, 100%. This masterclass is perfect if you want to reset and rebuild your practice around your own energy, needs, and lifestyle. You’ll learn tools for resilience and create a structure that brings balance back into your life, without compromising on your purpose.
4. What does “Human Design” mean, and how will it help my practice?
Human Design is a system that combines ancient wisdom, modern science and divine spirit to be used as a tool of self-discovery.. Think Myers Briggs, Enneagram, or any personality measure meets Charkas & Astrology on steroids. HD teaches you how to deprogram/break up from society's norms/rules & regulations. Instead, it teaches you how to live by your own unique gifts/talents. This is kinda like your personalized instruction manual to your life, which was already a part of you. By exploring your Human Design, you’ll gain insights into the best ways to manage your energy, set boundaries, and connect with clients authentically, helping you build a practice that works for you.
5. Is financial planning covered?
Yes, we’ll dive into financial clarity so you feel confident and in control. You’ll learn practical steps for budgeting, setting rates, and creating financial goals that support your life and your vision, making the money side of your practice feel less stressful and more empowering. Remember, I am NOT a financial advisor.
6. How much time will be spent on individual work versus group activities?
This masterclass is a mix of individual reflection and group interaction. You’ll have solo exercises to work on personal insights and planning, balanced with group discussions, peer support, and nature-based activities to help you connect and recharge.

At this time, I’m not offering traditional, ongoing individual counseling. Instead, I am focus on supporting and guiding LPC Associates on their fully licensed journey.
