Great to meet you!

Have you ever struggled with depression, been gripped by anxiety, or overcome by grief? Let’s talk about it! Welcome! I am Shantae, a licensed Therapist in NYS. I am an African American woman born and raised in Harlem, NY. I currently offer therapy to individuals and families. My background includes many years of working with the underserved populations, helping to create change and strengthen our communities.

My approach to therapy

Most of my clients have experienced symptoms of depression/ anxiety and are searching for ways to cope. Modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person- Centered Therapy were utilized to help them overcome their issues and meet their treatment goals. Together, we will identify triggers, discuss life stressors, and develop coping strategies to assist you with dealing with difficult times in life. overall wellbeing.

What you can expect from me

Sessions with me allow clients to feel supported and respected for who they are. I create safe and non-judgmental space where client’s feel free to discuss their difficulties and process their feelings. Experience has taught me that safe spaces help to foster healing and allow clients to be open. In therapy sessions, you will be assisted in creating healthy boundaries in which you can love others but also love yourself and keep yourself safe emotionally.
