Very insightful, informative, and humane. Best bang for your buck. When you speak with Shamika you get the sense of someone you could relate to and she comes of very calming with an absence of judgmental behavior.

I have only talked to her one time but I felt she understood and listened to what I have going on without judgement!

It took me a very long time to commit to therapy or want to share my feelings. Shamika not only made me feel comfortable from the start but everything she said hit home hard. I look forward to many sessions of her expertise.

Absolutely enjoy her insight on my life stories. I have a tendency to doubt myself when it comes to my life and friendships. She has helped me see that my doubts are not necessarily valid. She listens intently, even though I feel I talk a alot while she listens. But her final thoughts about my stories makes me feel better about myself. So happy with her insight.

My therapist helps me with techniques to help decrease my anxiety. She helps me shift my views in ways that are hard for me to do when I’m having anxiety. There are techniques for when the anxiety gets bad and I can’t shake it. It’s nice to be seen and heard and to talk through things. You have a lot of conversations you wouldn’t have with anyone else to figure things out about yourself. It’s been a helpful journey and I check in with myself throughout the day to keep my anxiety lower now. I’ve never had therapy before and sometimes it’s hard to think of the questions to ask that could help. I hope her techniques help others like they’ve helped me during such a tough time.

this woman is phenomenal. anything that i was ashamed to tell her for fear of judgement, she was very understanding about and did not make me feel less than. she is very intelligent and logical in her advice and doesn’t take sides—only tells the truth. she helps me to see an outside perspective so i can avoid being manipulated. at times i feel like she’s the only person i can talk to, it’s very easy to confide in her. she helps me to not feel so undeserving and broken. i am very grateful to be matched with Mrs Shamika & i highly recommend for the next person.

Hands down my best experience in therapy. I have had a few different counselors in different times in my life. Shamika has given me her full attention, listens to give a real and reasonable response. Shamika is able to follow along on my many tangents and could keep it all together. She has given me faith back into the "mental health" game as my last counselor had me searching for other options. After only 3 sessions I feel more comfortable than the 9 months I have had elsewhere. Thank you for taking this seriously, I know my "problems" are not as profound as others by any means but I feel like I am in no way being short cut. Thank you for treating me with care and allowing me to vent when needed, you are very appreciated, and as I mentioned early that appreciation reaches all the way to my mother and beyond. I thank you, have a great day!

Shamika has helped me tremendously in navigating my workplace stress due to dealing with a narcissistic boss. Shamika has given me tools to ensure my success while continuing to support me as I implement boundaries and define a path forward. I am extremely grateful for Shamika and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Shamika for being so wonderful!

Easy to talk to, I feel like not only does she listen to me but is reflective and understands clearly where I am coming from. I definitely recommend her, and have been progressing in each session.

My experience with Ms. Shamika has been great so far. She listens compassionately and provides the most professional and honest advice. I haven't worked with her long but I am always excited to talk to her. I feel committed to therapy and I feel like she is committed to helping me reach my goals. Is speaking to a stranger a little odd? of course but Shamika doesn't treat me like a stranger and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for your time Ms. Shamika!

I felt much better after talking to her and I was shocked about how much anger I had inside of me. I didn't realize it until after I had finished the 1st session with her.
