Shakara Thomas, LCSW

Shakara Thomas, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
Hello, I'm Shakara Thomas, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience providing mental health treatment for individuals and families. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Clinical Psychology from Saint Augustine’s University in 2013 and received my Master of Social Work Degree from Norfolk State University in 2019. My journey in mental health has been driven by a deep passion for helping both individuals and families navigate life's challenges, whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or other difficult experiences. My goal is to assist you on your journey of healing and finding peace. Throughout my career, I've developed a range of skills to support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, co-occurring disorders, learning disabilities, various forms of trauma, and crises. I believe in a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy, and I'm dedicated to helping you develop the skills you need to heal, make peace with past experiences, and equip yourself with tools for future situations. In our sessions, I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) along with other treatment modalities to help improve your state of well-being. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. Whether you're dealing with trauma, phobias, multicultural or diversity issues, life transitions, perinatal support, PTSD, intimate or romantic relationships, antisocial behavior, bipolar disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, grief, bereavement, anger management, or family relationships, I'm here to help. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more peaceful future.
