Getting to know Ashanti Shakir

Hi there, I'm Ashanti! I am Ashanti Shakir, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I work with adults statewide, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and see clients in Georgia, New Jersey, and North Carolina via telehealth. I have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health centers, non-profit organizations, crisis intervention, hospital liaison roles, outpatient clinics, and private practice. My experience includes extensive work in social services with government and county agencies as well as in the counseling field. Having provided telehealth services since 2012, delivering effective care remotely is not new to me. I use a solution-focused approach and specialize in supporting adults managing the challenges of parenting, single-parenting, postpartum recovery, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life-phase transitions, work stress, and establishing boundaries. My approach In my practice, I use an integrative and holistic approach that examines multiple areas of life impacting moods and behaviors. I want to see the whole client. This includes exploring family life, professional environment, romantic relationships, friendships, physical health, spiritual wellness, and medical health. By understanding how these areas influence mental health, clients gain insight into their mood, behavior, and choices. I partner with clients to create unique, holistic treatment plans that address environmental stressors and internal cognitive patterns, helping them adopt positive ways of thinking and behaving to optimize how they wish to show up in life. My communication style I create a comfortable, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore and process without pressure or expectations. This is your journey, and I am simply your wellness guide.
