Getting to know Shakira Seeley
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my work centers on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply stuck, I'm here to help you find clarity, restore balance, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself so you can move forward with confidence and intention.
Whatever brought you here, reaching out is an act of courage, and it's the first step toward something better. Together, we'll achieve the meaningful change you're looking for.
What should a new client know about working with you?
DISCLAIMER: We are not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time.
My path to therapy grew from a deep desire to help people feel seen, heard, and understood, especially in the moments when life feels most overwhelming. That purpose led to the creation of Because You Matter Mental Health Counseling, a clinic rooted in compassion, growth, and the belief that every person deserves meaningful support.
In my practice now at SOL Mental Health, I bring a genuine, relatable, and grounded presence so that you feel comfortable being yourself while working toward the progress you deserve.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
At the heart of our work together is a space that is safe, supportive, and entirely nonjudgmental. My approach is collaborative and patient-centered, shaped by the belief that lasting change happens when you feel genuinely seen and understood.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques, we build insight, develop coping skills, and create progress that holds. Every person brings a unique story and set of goals, so every session is tailored to what matters most to you. My style is warm, honest, and grounded, and my commitment is to meet you where you are every step of the way.
