Sharika Spates, LCSW

Sharika Spates, LCSW

Psychotherapist
GA
Hi there, I'm Sharika! Hi, I am Sharika Spates, licensed in Georgia and Iowa. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Georgia. I have extensive experience supporting adolescents through challenges like grief, family transitions, and anxiety. My practice also includes working with adults facing similar concerns and guiding couples toward stronger, healthier relationships. I am committed to providing compassionate, client-centered professional counseling services. My approach My approach to therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and rooted in Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe clients are experts in their own lives, and together, we identify strengths, set achievable goals, and build practical strategies for positive change. Using Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients envision their desired future and identify steps to move toward it. With CBT, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, working to challenge negative thinking patterns and develop healthier coping skills. My style is supportive and empowering, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and make meaningful progress. My focus I work with adolescents, adults, and couples facing a range of life challenges. My areas of focus include managing anxiety, navigating grief and loss, coping with family transitions, and supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum. I'm experienced in helping clients build resilience, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. I create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change. Whether addressing life stressors, relationship dynamics, or personal growth, I tailor my approach to meet each client's unique needs with compassion and evidence-based strategies.
