Shakera Snelling

Hello, my name is Shakera! I’m glad you’re here! Reaching out for support takes courage—it’s a meaningful first step, and it says a lot about your strength and self-awareness. You’re not meant to walk this path alone, and I’d be honored to be part of your team as we work together toward your goals.

In my practice, I diagnose, prescribe, and provide therapy for a wide range of mental health and medical conditions. A diagnosis or set of symptoms can help guide our plan, but it does not define you. You are so much more than a label. Together, we'll be a team, and we’ll focus on who you are—your goals, your values, and healing.

I believe in creating a supportive, collaborative space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. You are the expert on your life and your culture, your experience, and I bring my knowledge on the applications of medications and therapy. My approach is centered on building trust through open communication, validation, and empathy. We’ll work as a team to explore your experiences, identify what matters most to you, and move toward meaningful change. I incorporate psychotherapy modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR-informed techniques, tailored to your unique needs.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or simply seeking support, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know one another, explore your concerns, and begin creating a plan that aligns with your needs and values. Whether we focus on therapy, medication, or a combination, we’ll make decisions together. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can begin.
