Shanaz Ikonne, PLLC

Hello, I'm Shanaz
(she/her/hers), pronounced: shah-nawz
I’m a second-generation South Asian American, social justice advocate, and licensed professional counselor/board certified. I’m also a wife, fierce mama, and Texas therapist serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ populations.

I’m here to help break some generational chains, barriers, and anything holding you back from being your most authentic self.

I offer trauma-informed virtual counseling sessions that treat the whole person, nurturing the mind and body.

Shanaz is warm and attentive to her client's needs. Her expertise is vast and with tailored approaches that are inclusive of the client's lived experiences and identities. Her presence does not make anyone feel judged or ashamed to seeking help.
