Shanekka

Shanekka is a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health and social services. She specializes in supporting individuals through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday stress that can feel overwhelming. After more than a decade in child protective services, she transitioned into therapy to take a more proactive role in healing—helping people not just survive, but thrive.

Her approach is person-centered, collaborative, and culturally responsive. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up just as you are. You are the expert on your life—She is here to walk alongside you, offering support, tools, and fresh perspective. She draws from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and work at a pace that feels right for you.

Beyond therapy, she is passionate about personal and professional development and expanding access to mental health resources. Whether through workshops, training, or educational materials, she strives to promote resilience, healing, and well-being in the communities I serve. She is extremely passionate about supporting individuals from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities who are navigating life’s challenges while holding space for their identities. Whether you're dealing with stress, depression, grief, burnout, or recovery maintenance, she will work together with you to find clarity and build resilience.
