Hi, I'm Shanakay. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents, teens, and adults across Georgia, Florida, Kansas, and Missouri. Life has a way of handing us more than we feel ready for, and when that happens, having someone in your corner can make all the difference. That is the role I hope to play. I especially enjoy walking with people through anxiety, depression, stress, and big life transitions. These challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, but they are often where the most meaningful growth happens. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, drawing on CBT and DBT to help you build practical skills that create real, lasting change in everyday life. Therapy, to me, is a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery, a chance to understand yourself more fully and create change that fits your values and goals. I hold onto a simple belief that guides my work: growth begins the moment you believe change is possible. I see clients through WellQor, which offers online therapy so we can connect from wherever you are most comfortable. To begin, visit the WellQor website and complete the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help schedule your first session. When I'm not with clients, you'll find me with family and friends, outdoors, and traveling whenever I can.

I’m passionate about helping adolescents and adults feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered. I provide Trauma-Informed Care, which means I view behaviors as reflections of deeper experiences—not simply choices. Many trauma responses are often misunderstood as “bad behaviors,” but when we take time to understand the experiences behind them, we can begin to identify new ways to heal, grow, and build healthy coping skills. Outside of therapy, I enjoy playing with my dog, going to the gym, and watching football My ideal clients are teens and young adults who may be struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, challenges at school, home, relationships, and life transitions. I utilize CBT, DBT and Collaborative Problem Solving to address ways to meet your goals, and I can tailor interventions that are unique to you. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey or help you feel more confident and understood, I would be honored to walk alongside you. I provide services for all Georgia residents via telehealth and in person for Atlanta-based clients

College life can be exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. I understand the unique stressors that come with being a college student—academic pressure, life transitions, relationships, identity exploration, and balancing it all. As a former college student myself, I bring both personal understanding and professional experience into the work we do together. I have experience working with young adults ages 18–25 and strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and person-centered modalities. I believe therapy should meet you where you are and honor your individual experiences and strengths. I would love to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and begin healing the parts of you that need care and attention. You don’t have to do this alone.

I get it. You can’t eat. You can’t sleep. Your heart feels like it is beating out of your chest. You feel alone. You put everyone else first and wonder when it will be your turn. You don’t even like the person in the mirror, so how can you hope to find acceptance from anyone else? Is your main concern your body size or shape? Your sexual orientation? The role others expect of you? You are overwhelmed by feelings you don’t even understand. You wonder if you will be stuck like this forever. You want the thoughts on loop in your head to stop, so you can get some rest. You want to be your authentic self… once you figure out what that means. You crave connection and community – to find where you belong. You seek balance. I can help.
