About Growth Explored

Growth Explored was created from a simple but powerful belief: sustainable healing and ethical clinical work require space, reflection, and embodied presence, not just productivity and performance.

Founded by Shanae Hudson, LCSW, Growth Explored offers psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and organizational consultation rooted in trauma-informed, somatic, and reflective practices. The work centers both clinical rigor and the lived experience of being human in caregiving and clinical roles.
