Great to meet you!

My approach to therapy

Shakiya's style is solution-oriented, open-minded & promotes empowerment.

Shakiya utilizes a holistic model to provide inclusive care for all clients. This may include modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and psychoanalysis; all with the aim to help manage your symptoms, cope with life changes & modify any counterproductive behaviors in order to live a more fulfilling and joyous life.

What you can expect from me

Shakiya's goal is to teach her clients small techniques that can last a lifetime & help in times of distress. Together you'll work on a treatment plan that will incorporate your whole being - this may include adding exercise, natural supplements, psychotherapy, or adding psychiatric medication. Shakiya is excited to meet you & help you conquer this together!
