Getting to know Shemika Whiteside

Mrs. Whiteside has worked in various mental health settings, maintaining her unwavering focus on mothers and small children.

Mrs. Whiteside earned her Master's in Social Work from the University of Louisville and is currently a social work doctoral student there, researching the impact of perinatal mood disorders. Evidence indicates that depression and other mood disorders in parents can have a harmful impact on children, including cognitive difficulties, insecure attachment, and behavioral problems.

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.
