Who am I?
I am Shikeena Lynard-Greene MA, NCC, LPC- a counselor, educator, and founder of PACWELLNESS. Clients describe me as calm, encouraging, and very practical. I believe therapy should feel safe, structured, and useful.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. You can expect me to bring warmth, curiosity, and clear feedback to our work together. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, but always from a place of empathy and respect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the emotional skills needed to feel more grounded and in control of your life.
