Getting to know Shakira Kea
Hi there, I'm Shakira!
"Are you ready to give yourself permission to heal and grow, and finally feel seen, supported, and understood? Taking that step to seek therapy is brave, and I’m here to meet you halfway. I walk alongside adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes, using a down-to-earth, supportive approach with CBT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused tools. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and create meaningful steps forward."
My approach
I work with you to understand what’s happening in your life, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be holding you back, reflect on how past experiences have shaped your reactions, and identify ways to move forward in a way that feels right for you. I draw from CBT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused methods to guide our work, providing tools and support to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
My focus
Are you dealing with high-functioning anxiety and looking for tools to manage it more effectively? Do you feel stuck in depression and want to experience a better quality of life? Are you navigating big life adjustments like getting married, becoming a parent, or balancing friendships and family? In our sessions, we’ll focus on building coping skills, processing your thoughts and feelings, and giving you the peace you may be searching for.
My communication style
I am a warm and energetic therapist who strives to bring hope and encouragement to every session. I believe it’s your session—you are the expert on yourself, and I’m here to guide and support you. My role is to listen, reflect, and help you uncover insights and practical ways to navigate challenges, all while creating a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
My journey to mental healthcare
I’ve always been the friend people turn to when they need someone to listen or give advice.
