Getting to know Shantel Clarke
The way in which you cope is what makes the difference. We all come from different walks of life, and therapy can be intimidating. Talking to someone who doesn’t know you or where you come from—and then trusting this person with your most personal information—can be difficult. Give yourself the grace to obtain the support you need and deserve to live in peace. I can provide you with the support and effective feedback to assist in resolving current problems. I will offer a safe and compassionate environment where patients are encouraged to discover solutions. By empowering my clients to understand and modify their thinking patterns, we can effectively and sustainably transform their lives. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Adelphi University, which equips me with the knowledge and skills to support you on this journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience treating children, young adults, families, and individuals suffering anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, adjustment and marital/relationship issues. I incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Based Interventions, and psychoeducation based upon your unique needs. By empowering my clients to understand and modify their thinking patterns, we can effectively and sustainably transform their lives.
I provide a compassionate, safe space where together we can explore your challenges, better understand them and come up with strategies to set you up for success. Talk therapy is a vehicle for true change and I believe in utilizing several therapeutic modalities to ensure we find the best fit for you. I look forward to being a part of your journey and supporting you in navigating the path towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
