Shirita Cook

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, dedicated to helping individuals break old cycles and reclaim their peace. Since 2018, I have provided specialized mental health therapy across diverse settings, including college-based community mental health with BIPOC programming, inpatient addiction care, and private practice. I am an in-network provider with many insurance companies, including Providence Health Plan through the Headway network. My practice focuses heavily on supporting women, students, individuals experiencing various life transitions, and those, who are exhausted from people-pleasing, overcommitting, and ignoring their own boundaries. Together, we work to heal past and present wounds to build a deep, lasting foundation of self-trust and self-love.

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy that balances mind, body, and spirit. My evidence-based toolkit features Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to rewrite negative thought loops driving imposter syndrome, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma recovery to help you escape survival mode. I also integrate Somatic Therapy to release the physical stress that people-pleasing, life stressors, and trauma leaves in your body, alongside Mindfulness and Spirituality. This integrative method ensures you walk away from every session with actionable coping skills.

Your desire for change is proof that your soul is ready to heal. In our first session, we will build a safe, grounding, and solution-oriented space to honor your journey. Whether you are navigating a major life transition—like starting college, ending a relationship, or getting married—we will tailor our collaborative dialogue to your unique needs. We achieve this by developing awareness, setting intentionality, and utilizing targeted homework assignments between our virtual sessions.
