Hi there, I'm Shatira!

I find my passion and purpose in providing access to exceptional mental health care for marginalized populations, including women of color, HBCU students, individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, and young adults who have been involved in the dependency system.

My focus

My ideal client is someone devoted to growth and ready to disrupt negative thought patterns that paralyze emotional wellness. I work with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship concerns, self-esteem, body positivity, adoption, divorce, and women's issues.

My approach

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, Mindfulness, and other evidence-based practices to enhance my individualized counseling experience, all while maintaining a primary focus on the here and now.

My communication style

I am committed to providing a safe space for clients to feel validated and supported. My goal is to be a catalyst in promoting cognitive, social, emotional, and personal growth through a holistic lens for clients who are ready to create the life they've always imagined.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a strong desire and commitment to helping others overcome challenges and improve their mental health and overall well-being. Being a therapist has allowed me to give back to the community and ensure that marginalized populations have access to exceptional care.

My goals for you

I create a safe environment to ensure you feel comfortable and understood. Through active listening and collaborative goal setting, I help you identify patterns and take an active role in setting goals to increase your commitment and motivation.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on building rapport, communicating about boundaries and expectations, conducting an assessment, and establishing your primary goals.
