Getting to know Shaquana Mercer

Hi there, I'm Shaquana! Hello! My name is Shaquana Mercer, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I am so excited to start this mental health journey with you! My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though I like to incorporate elements from various approaches because we are complex individuals not defined by just one aspect—so why limit ourselves to just one method? My focus areas vary from anger management to anxiety and more. My ideal client is someone who is ready and eager to work and do their part on this mental health journey. If you are ready for change, you are my ideal client! The environment I create in sessions is one of comfort. There will be laughs, smiles, peace, trust, and most of all, comfort. Helping others has always been a passion of mine. I took a general psychology class in high school and fell in love with it. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be a therapist. As I advanced through college, my passion for psychology grew, and I knew that becoming a therapist was the path I needed to take. When setting goals, I aim to work with you to discover what goals you would like to achieve. During our first session, be prepared to get to know each other better, discuss your goals, set a schedule, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you!
