Shakera Garrard, LPC

Shakera Garrard, LPC

Psychotherapist
MO
Hello, I'm Shakera. No one knows you better than yourself, so be proud of this first step of taking care of yourself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 6 years of experience working as a therapist, and I am also board-certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NCC). My focus is on implementing a client-centered approach, where I believe the most important aspect is to provide a non-judgmental and safe space for all of my clients. It's crucial not to pressure my clients to convey what is uncomfortable but to help them process their feelings and empower them to do what is best for them in their daily lives. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with adults who have experienced trauma, grief, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, self-image issues, anxiety, peer pressure, and so much more. My approach is versatile, incorporating a variety of techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused theory, mindfulness techniques, grounding techniques, and more. I believe in the importance of clients having a voice so they can be heard and understood. Specializing in areas like anxiety, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, grief/bereavement, life transitions, intimate/romantic relationships, stress, trauma, and anger management, I am here to support you through your journey. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or just need someone to talk to, I am here to listen and help you navigate through it. Taking the step to seek therapy is a brave and commendable decision, and I am honored to be part of your journey. Let's work together to help you find the clarity and strength you need to thrive. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your path to wellness.
