Getting to know Shashana Carter
Hello, I'm Shashana Carter. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and board-approved supervisor with over 15 years of professional, life, and clinical experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I work with individuals aged 18 to 70 to resolve conflict and improve functioning in their lives. My specialty areas include depression, trauma, grief, life direction, excessive eating, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues. Using an evidence-based, person-centered approach and a solution-focused perspective, I empower clients to overcome obstacles, achieve realistic goals, and find solutions to problematic issues that stand in the way of living a healthier lifestyle and cultivating a more positive mindset.

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.
