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 am a board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For me, being a physician is more than a profession—it is a vocation to help indviduals flourish. My practice is devoted to students and young adults seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that extends beyond symptom relief. I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider medical, nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors—including laboratory testing when clinically appropriate—to identify the contributors to emotional and cognitive health. I also specialize in evidence-based de-prescribing for patients who wish to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications for anxiety, attention difficulties, or substance use disorders. My approach is guided by precision, humility, and restraint: using the least intensive intervention necessary while drawing upon the full breadth of evidence-based medicine. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, I integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, when appropriate, carefully selected medications into a personalized treatment plan. In addition to my clinical work, I have presented internationally on psychiatric deprescribing and medical ethics. My work has been recognized with awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and other leading professional organizations. I am the Founder & Medical Director of Verigrate Health. I am licensed to serve patients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.

School can be some of the most rewarding years of your life but they can also be overwhelming. Between classes, internships, work, relationships, family expectations, finances, and figuring out who you are and where you're headed, sometimes it's good to have some extra support. Therapy gives you a place to talk openly about what's going on, without judgment. Whether you're feeling anxious, stressed, burned out, stuck, lonely, or simply trying to make sense of a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with college and graduate students on concerns such as anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, identity exploration, gender identity, academic stress, life transitions, binge eating, and body image. Many of my clients are also learning how to manage life on their own for the first time and are discovering that no one ever really taught them how to handle the emotional side of money. As a Certified Financial Social Worker, I can help you develop a healthier relationship with money, spending, debt, budgeting, and financial decision-making. Together, we can explore both the practical and emotional aspects of financial wellness so you feel more confident and in control. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I'll meet you where you are, help you build on your strengths, and offer practical tools along the way. If you're curious about working together, I'd be happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

What is outpatient counseling? Our mental health is important in every stage of life, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. It affects how we think, feel, act, handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Major life events, traumatic experiences, and even stress can significantly impact our ability to successfully function at seemingly easy daily tasks. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, then outpatient counseling may be for you. Outpatient counseling can help children, adults, and families address the effects of trauma, improve stress management skills, and resolve problematic behaviors and relationship issues. Counseling helps identify triggers and patterns and teaches new skills to process current and past circumstances. With counseling, children, adults, and families experience personal growth and change to have happier, more productive lives. Certified in trauma-informed care, we offer therapeutic services in an atmosphere of acceptance to promote your well-being. We’ll match you with knowledgeable and caring therapists who can help with: Abuse/Neglect Addiction Adoption Anxiety Conflict Resolution Depression Family Relationship Struggles Grief/Loss Identity Self-Esteem Stress Substance Abuse

What’s keeping you stuck? Are you struggling to understand why relationships keep failing or why your job or school is depleting you? Are you overwhelmed, trapped in a pattern of people pleasing, or struggling with anxious thoughts you can’t seem to stop? Are you high-achieving or perfectionistic and struggling to find peace in your life? Maybe you’re just grappling with the existential questions and wondering what the meaning of all of this is. I specialize in helping people get unstuck, gain confidence, and create the lives they want. I teach you how to cultivate calm in your body and understand how thoughts and internal narratives influence feelings and behaviors. You will learn how to position yourself as the observer of your emotions (like anxiety, irritability), so you can respond intentionally—rather than on autopilot. I provide insightful online therapy that allows you to feel seen, heard, and understood - all in the comfort of your home. I love doing the deep work that helps you better understand yourself and empowers you to build the life you want.

Personal Statement Hello, My name is Amanda. I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with all ages from 6-99. I manage medications as well as therapy through telehealth. My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‐based practice. I believe that mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I work with clients to understand the full picture of what’s affecting their well‐being—not just symptoms, but life stressors, medical history, environment, and personal goals. I strive to create a supportive, judgment‐free space where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. Care is never one‐size‐fits‐all. Together, we develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication management, education, lifestyle strategies, and coordination with therapy or other healthcare providers as needed.

Hello, I'm Karla. I am a bilingual and bicultural therapist who has experience working with various mental health issues and life complexities. Do you find yourself internally suffering from your emotions? Do feel like your life isn’t going to get better and worry these feelings will continue to persist in the future? Do you feel frustrated, like you are constantly stuck in the same patterns within yourself and within your relationships? Most of my clients come to me seeking ways to overcome these challenges and find ways to move forward. Through a trusting and supportive relationship along with evidence-based techniques, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate your emotions, and equip you with coping strategies that will lead to lasting change. We will create a treatment plan based on your individual goals, needs, and challenges. We will explore how your past, as well as your family and cultural dynamics could be contributing to your present issues. We will identify unhelpful patterns, while exploring the strengths and solutions you did not know you had in you. I know what it is like to be on the other side, and I want to provide a judgement-free, compassionate and empowering space that can truly be transformative. If you are at a place where you feel you are ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I invite you to text me, send me an email or give me a call.

I provide trauma‑informed, neurodivergent‑affirming therapy for adults navigating complex life experiences, chronic stress, and patterns that feel hard to shift alone. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in nervous‑system awareness. Together, we slow things down, build clarity, and develop real‑world strategies that help life feel more manageable. Clients often come to me when they’re overwhelmed, masking, stuck in survival mode, or carrying long‑standing trauma that still shapes their daily functioning. I work at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your autonomy, offering steady support while helping you strengthen regulation, boundaries, and self‑trust. My style is warm, direct, and deeply validating. I integrate evidence‑based tools with an understanding of how trauma, neurodivergence, and systemic barriers impact functioning. Sessions focus on building skills you can actually use — not just insight, but practical steps that support meaningful, sustainable change. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands complexity, honors your lived experience, and works with you to create a life that feels more grounded and possible, I’m here to help.

Relationships can be hard. Communication can be challenging. Feeling anxious, uncertain, directionless, or out-of-control can feel overwhelming and at times debilitating. It is so easy to become stuck in a cycle of frustration or hopelessness which creates thought loops fixated on these feelings. It can feel impossible to see what lies beyond the immediate struggles we can’t seem to work through. While most of us feel the need to address these struggles, so few of us have the time or energy to “fix” these stuck points and successfully move past them. That’s where I step in to help. If interested, please send me an email and we'll schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit.

My approach to medication management is collaborative, trauma-informed, and individualized. I combine thoughtful medication support with coping skills and holistic strategies, taking time to understand your history, strengths, and goals. I work with you to build resilience, emotional balance, and a greater sense of control in daily life. Reaching out for support can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. When you’re ready, you can email me or book an appointment through the website link. I’m here to listen, support, and walk with you on your journey toward balance and well-being.

I endeavor to create a context of genuine connection and understanding, where we can explore your unique experience and work towards a more fulfilled life.

My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and rooted in a belief in your innate resilience and potential. I hope to help you develop greater acceptance of yourself and find meaning in your position in life. My approach blends humanistic values with evidence-based approaches, including EMDR when appropriate. Sometimes this means excavating traumas, to help make it possible to work with and to integrate into a whole narrative conducive to your own goals. Together, we'll flesh out your story and work to transform sadness or pain into peace and purpose.
