Shantai LaMaque, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Shantai!

I bring a deep commitment to supporting underserved communities. I believe in meeting people where they are, both emotionally and practically, and tailoring interventions to honor their lived experiences. My work is guided by the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing homelessness, complex life transitions, and systemic barriers. My approach is rooted in dignity, resilience, and empowerment, honoring each person's lived experiences and capacity for growth.

My approach

I integrate Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients identify strengths, reframe challenges, and build actionable strategies for change. My practice emphasizes goal-oriented interventions that foster hope and promote sustainable progress for those navigating life transitions and systemic barriers.

My communication style

I provide mental health services that are sensitive to your needs while respecting you, your family, community, culture, and language. I pride myself on true empathy and the ability to meet you where you are, providing the necessary tools to obtain mental health and wellness.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working in social services and behavioral health, I've seen the direct effects of unmet mental health needs and the impact on individuals and families. This inspired me to further my education and provide compassionate, accessible mental health services to those who need them most.

My goals for you

We'll focus on your strengths, resources, and the future you want to build. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is about discovering what's already working in your life and helping you do more of it. We'll explore your goals, highlight your successes, and take practical steps toward meaningful change.

Our first session

We'll start by imagining what life would look like if things were better. From there, we'll build a path forward one small, powerful step at a time. You don't need to have everything figured out—we'll discover what's already working and help you do more of it.
