I have only had one session, but, I can already see that Shandrieka is an amazing listener and is 100% listening to all of my concerns. She did not rush me or show any signs of judgement and was EXTREMELY supportive. I am SO glad I signed up and will finally be getting the help I need!!

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.
