Getting to know Shaunte Gates
I’m so glad you’re here. I work with people who are feeling weighed down by stress, anxiety, past trauma, or challenges in relationships. Many of my clients want to feel more in control of their thoughts and emotions, but they’re not sure where to start. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, shift them in healthier directions, and build practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable. Therapy with me is about making changes you can see and feel in your daily life.
I believe that no two people heal in the same way. My approach is flexible and adapts to your unique needs, pace, and personality. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and guide you toward building the life you want for yourself and your relationships.
Clients describe my communication style as warm, attentive, and honest. I listen closely to what’s being said—and sometimes to what isn’t being said—and reflect in ways that help you feel truly heard. I provide gentle, supportive feedback, but I’m also willing to challenge you when it helps you grow.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
