Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Shantel Hams and I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 5 years of experience in the field. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Webster University where I specialized in cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. I am also certified in trauma-focused therapy and have completed extensive training in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about helping individuals, families and couples navigate their mental health journeys and achieve their personal goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, and client-centered. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to empower you to explore your thoughts and feelings, develop new coping strategies, and achieve your personal goals.

What you can expect from me

Therapy is a journey, and I am committed to providing ongoing support throughout our work together. We will regularly review your progress and adjust our approach as needed to ensure you are moving towards your goals.
