A Better Tomorrow Counseling was founded in January 2023 by Shawndre Leydon and was originally located in Vero Beach, Florida.   Shawndre always wanted to fulfill a dream of establishing a private practice based on compassion, healing and dedication to the client.  Starting as a solo provider, she set out to commit to making a positive impact on people's lives through her work.  

By April 2024, Shawndre began to realize that she wanted to expand A Better Tomorrow Counseling and become a group practice.  In order to achieve more space, in October 2024, A Better Tomorrow Counseling moved to Port St Lucie, Florida.  Incredibly, while still maintaining many clients from our previous Vero Beach location.  A true testament to the quality of care to see our clients travel upwards of an hour to stay with our services.  

By June 2025, A Better Tomorrow Counseling had outgrown our original Port St Lucie location on Bayshore Blvd.  It was with great pride that Shawndre and her husband Shaun began to search for a long-term office that could accommodate a medium size group practice.  In September 2025, we proudly opened our newest location at 8505 US Hwy 1, Port St Lucie.  With enough space to accommodate five clinicians, reception, lobby and a Ketamine room.  

Now, with multiple clinicians covering a span of treatment modalities, A Better Tomorrow Counseling is excited for the future possibilities.  A Better Tomorrow Counseling is proud to offer KAP (Ketamine Assisted Therapy), EMDR, Couples Trauma work (Gottman Certified), specializations with LGBTQ+, grief and trauma counseling as well as sexual disorder treatments (ATSA Certified).  Our practice is proud to offer telehealth to multiple states outside of Florida, including Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

Employing a diverse range of therapeutic methods, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and humanistic approaches, we have witnessed numerous clients undergo successful transformations and personal growth.  A Better Tomorrow Counseling is here to service all your therapeutic needs and continue to provide outstanding excellence in client services.
