About Provider

About Shanta

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience in clinical assessment, case management, and therapy services. I specialize in working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, behavioral challenges, depression, and anxiety. I am passionate about enhancing client outcomes through innovative therapy techniques and compassionate care, while creating safe and supportive spaces for healing and growth.


I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Memphis. I use a blend of thought-provoking rapport, strong internal work, and humor to help clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier relationships.


I welcome clients to work with me as they move beyond hardship and self-doubt. My goal is to help you navigate the weeds of negativity and step into a space of personal growth, well-being, and renewal. Together, we will work toward rediscovering joy, confidence, and inner peace.
