Get to know Shanita
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I have family members and friends who suffer from mental health issues. I've witnessed the positive impact of therapy treatment. This is the change and solution that I want to be a part of.
What type of clients are you most excited to work with?
I am most excited to work with clients who are ready for self-discovery and growth. It is motivating to work with clients who are committed to exploring and addressing their unique challenges.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
I wish all clients knew that "it's okay to not be okay." It's okay to ask for support. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign strength and bravery.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
I chose to practice at Thriveworks because of its supportive environment. It is my safe place that allows me to focus on helping clients navigate through life's challenges.
