Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Shemekia. With over 15 years of experience in the Mental Health Counseling field, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your personal goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and South Carolina, I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma/recovery/PTSD, personality disorders, and conduct-related disorders. Additionally, I offer support for ADHD, ODD, self-esteem issues, and educational counseling, including assistance with failing grades and school-related anxiety.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with community mental health agencies in both Georgia and South Carolina. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the diverse needs of individuals from various backgrounds. I am also a Certified Professional School Counselor in Georgia, which allows me to provide specialized support for students and their families.

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about my family and the joy they bring to my life. This love for my family fuels my commitment to helping others, shaping me into the compassionate and dedicated professional I am today.

If you're ready to take the first step towards a brighter future, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create positive change and achieve your goals.

What you can expect from me

My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding and empathy. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes of your concerns and develop strategies to overcome them. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to lead a fulfilling and balanced life.
