“I have tried therapy on previous occasions and felt although I was given the space to be open I was being judged or it wasn't helpful. Today I felt like I had the space and opportunity to be open or maybe I was also in the mindset to be open. I do know that Shakyra gave me that space to feel comfortable with doing so and that already encourages me to forge ahead with therapy. Shakyra was warm, friendly, straightforward (which I appreciate) and was a great listener. I know I am only one session in but I do feel encouraged to continue with her and thanks to her. ”

“Shakayra is always on time for our sessions, makes me feel like she’s fully invested in our time, and allows me to speak freely with no interruptions. She is very calming and intentional with her words and wisdom.”

Getting to know Shakyra Lawson
Are you often unable to take a moment to yourself and decompress? Do the people in your life call on you to handle or ‘fix' situations? Maybe you find it difficult to give yourself grace based on what “should” be. If this sounds like you, I hope to assist you in organizing the many overwhelming tasks in your life by identifying attainable goals to manage stress and prioritize your needs and desires. Welcome! I'm Shakyra, a licensed social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Florida State University, and I empower Millennial and Gen Z men and women with the tools and support they need to put themselves first.
No issue is too small for therapy. I love to work with individuals who are facing everyday stressors but do not have the necessary support to cope with those stressors. This could be, but is not limited to, people who are struggling with lack of organization, dealing with heartbreak, or other life adjustments. In group settings, I work with people who want to better understand why they feel, act, or react to varying stressors in the way that they do.
When you're ready to “woosah” and better handle the stresses of life, I'm ready to help you. Book a consultation today so we can schedule your first session and get you back to being your best self!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Our first session together includes an intake assessment and a chance for me to get to know you and your situation a bit better. We'll talk about what you want to get out of your sessions, the best approach for you, and possible barriers that have stopped you in the past. This is a place where you can be authentically YOU. Think about what you want this experience to be like and I'll work to tailor it to your specific needs.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
