Shakeda's Bio
Hi, I’m Shakeda. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist who supports individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
Many of the people I work with are used to holding it all together for others but feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected inside. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, I understand it can feel intimidating. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to over-explain, just show up.
My approach is collaborative and person-centered, allowing us to create a path forward that feels aligned with your needs and experiences. Using EMDR and other evidence-based practices, I help you process what you’ve been carrying, reduce emotional distress, and build healthier patterns so you can move forward with more clarity and ease.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and emotional wellness, with a focus on individuals navigating high expectations, identity, and personal growth.
I am a proud alumna of North Carolina A&T State University and Boston College. If you’re ready to feel supported and less alone, I’d be honored to work with you.
