Great to meet you!

Shakarla Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience. She works with young adults and adults to manage issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and self-esteem. Shakarla focuses on improving clients' self-worth by challenging negative core beliefs and collaboratively understanding how other contributing factors impact their behaviors and interpersonal relationships. She emphasizes that the progress made outside sessions is just as vital as the work done during them, empowering clients to take control of their healing journey.

Shakarla received her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health from Regent University.

My approach to therapy

She uses treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, reality therapy, motivational interviewing, and Christian counseling.

What you can expect from me

Shakarla believes in celebrating daily victories as important steps toward achieving larger life goals. As a Black Christian woman, she understands the challenges of breaking through cognitive barriers to embrace your worth and feel empowered to create the life you deserves. Seeking therapy can be tough, but also the start of a transformative journey worth the time and effort. Shakarla looks forward to meeting you and helping you reach your treatment goals.
