Shandrieka listens and knows when to advise and when to just nod along. She isn't just a yes lady and at this time in my life, I need someone who provides actual feedback and practical applications. She does just that! She lets me be who I am. If that's crying, yelling, staring into space, arguing with a dead man, she's there for it all!

Shandrieka has been so helpful with my situation. She listens to what I say and responds so well, even if I go off into many tangents. She does an amazing job at remembering things that I have told her and it truly makes me feel like she cares. When the time comes to wrap up our conversation she doesn’t just abruptly end it, she makes sure that I know what to take away from the conversation which is amazing. I truly respect and appreciate her as a therapist!

This therapist is by far one of the best! She has excellent personal interest, skill, depth, and precision in delivering therapeutic techniques for great results. She followed me as I hopped around from one subject to another and still smoothly provided care and help to me. Her empathy is out of this world. From the very first session, I have felt understood, a sense of relief from my grief, and confident to manage my mental health in a positive manner. Of course, I would strongly recommend her but the quality of work she delivers, quite frankly, recommends itself! You will not be disappointed if you choose her.

Shandrieka's years of experience clearly shows in her sessions. She is kind and patient, yet gently pushes me to considering other ideas and options. By the end of a session, I always feel like I have new concepts to work on and I feel better knowing that I am in charge of the situation.

Shandrieka has been the surprise I didn’t know I needed. I was nervous when first matching to a therapist and at first I wasn’t sure but she has been incredible. She challenges me and helps me see different perspectives of situations I experience in ways that help me grow or think differently so I’m not left with intensely negative emotions. I’m glad she’s my therapist.
