I was always skeptical about doing therapy because of having therapists that didn’t help too much and almost gave up until I was paired with Shaakira. She has been amazing from our first session to now. She really listens to you and helps me to uncover things about myself. She thoroughly explains her methods so that I can understand how to move forward in life in a practical way that suits my lifestyle. I recommend her to anybody and everybody

We HEALING!!
Welcome to the EXPERIENCE...This is NOT the same Western Philosophy to therapy. We are HEALING the entire Bio-field!!! I promote CHANGE and our journey is an Experience.
I combine mindfulness, cognitive therapy, sound frequency, introspective exercises and psycho-education to create powerful change. It is energy....we are all connected through energy. The relationship that you have with your self is projected in every interpersonal relationship, in your life. You will see where you are in relation to self, by your external relationships.
I believe in creating what you want to see in your life. We will focus on the physical & mental connection during treatment. Mindfulness has been proven to improve overall health, memory, concentration and focus while lessening emotional reactivity & anger. I utilize metaphysics, meditation & hypnotherapy to promote understanding of your subconscious mind. Together, we identify any core beliefs or past trauma that could be hindering the healing process.
I look forward to guiding you through your path of introspection, reflection, clarity and revelation.
Our Initial Assessment covers Behavioral health history, challenges, and wellness goals.
Coaching will be provided around mindfulness, diet, lifestyle, energy connection, and more.
Healing will be promoted through the 5 elements of life:
~Water, (Nurturing & Purifying energy)
~Earth, (Grounding)
~Fire, (Body, immune systems, chakra's, lymphatic system)
~Air, (Divine Spirit)
As your practitioner I will pull from psychodynamic modalities, shadow work , mindfulness, and so much more.
Welcome to the Journey
See you soon...on the couch!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Shaakira is always in my corner. Going through trauma is extremely difficult but I feel supported by Shaakira through this process of self discovery and forgiveness.
She is great at asking the right questions and makes me feel very comfortable. She has a variety of tools to help and is willing to try different things until you find the right method for you
Shaakira is fabulous and so wonderful. you will not be disappointed.
Shaakira, is very Pleasant, and she listened to what you have to say, and she is very respectful.
Shaakira is great. We are extremely compatible. She is easy to talk to and has helped me with my goals during my difficult time.
Therapy is something new to me. I was always unsure about how it would make me feel and what would come of it. Through this process Shaakira has made me feel very comfortable and understood. She is a miracle worker and is very good at her practice. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is on a soul healing journey!
I am very satisfied with my therapist
Shaakira is an amazing person and therapist! She really listens to what I'm saying and makes me feel very stable and secure when I am off balance. I love that she really takes the time to deeply problem solve, not just dwell on issues. I would strongly recommend her! It's difficult to find this type of mind/body/spirit therapy!
