I take the time to understand each patient’s unique concerns, goals, and lifestyle so we can develop a personalized approach together.

Talking with Shanita was so refreshing, and she made me feel hopeful. After being out of therapy for nearly a year and trying to search for a new therapist, she was the first one I felt completely comfortable talking to. I really loved her transparency and optimism, and I'm looking forward to continuing my sessions with her!

It was really nice having someone who seemed genuinely knowledgeable and friendly. Great first interview I get nervous meeting new people. By the end of the visit it felt like I was talking to a friend.

Shanita is absolutely AMAZING! First session and I’m already in a better headspace of what’s to come! It honestly felt like I was talking to a relative. She’s very personable, I didn’t feel uncomfortable and she showed an immense amount of empathy. I can’t wait to regain control of my life with her.

I’ve worked with Shanita for the past few years. At first I was skeptical about receiving therapy. But, that went away the very first day. Shanita is a genuine person who cares about her clients. I am so glad I found her. Two years later and she has helped me overcome my depression and set boundaries in life. This has helped me a lot. My relationships are better and I realize that I have much more to smile about.
