Great to meet you!

I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a variety of concerns including Depression, Grief/Loss, Trauma, and PMADs. I take a Client-centered Approach in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients become aware of the impact of their thought-patterns.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I will not ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do. I’m laid-back and I do not give up easily on those I serve. I am a natural optimist and assess all positives.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect support in developing effective coping techniques and interventions. Knowing what happened to you is important and necessary, but I don’t believe there’s something wrong with you. If you can't believe this for yourself yet, I'll believe it for you until you do.


Shemika's style is

Open-minded
Humorous
Warm
