Our Clinical Approaches It’s natural to wonder about the different counseling techniques that might be used to support you. These techniques can be effective tools to help you work through challenges and build resilience. For example, CBT might help you identify and change negative thought patterns, while DBT might help you regulate your emotions in difficult situations. As you work with your therapist, they will help you determine which techniques will be most effective for your unique needs and goals. While the thought of therapy might feel daunting, keep in mind that we are here to provide you with personalized care and support, and that the use of various counseling techniques can help you achieve the outcomes you desire.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed because someone you care about is struggling with addiction, you’re not alone.

I’m here to help you sort through those emotions, set healthy boundaries, and focus on your healing. At New Dawn, we work with people who have been affected by someone else’s substance use. That includes individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, support around family dynamics, and helping you understand how addiction affects relationships.

If you’re ready to start feeling better or just need someone to talk to who understands, I’d be honored to walk with you.

Loving someone who struggles with addiction can feel like living in two worlds. On one hand, you care deeply and want to help. On the other hand, you’re drained, anxious, and constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe it’s your parent, your sibling, your best friend, or even your partner or your child. No matter how much you care, it’s easy to lose yourself in the process. At New Dawn Family Healing, we specialize in helping those impacted by a loved one's substance use disorder. You might feel like it’s your job to keep things together, or like setting a boundary makes you a bad person. It doesn’t. You’re allowed to focus on your own healing, even if the person you love isn’t ready to change yet. We help individuals identify enabling behaviors, overcome codependency and fear, and learn how to set boundaries with the people you love the most. If you are struggling to navigate your loved one's addiction, I’m here. You deserve support, too.

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 currently accepting new clients for individual therapy. Hello, my name is Sarah McCart. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapy to help individuals of all ages navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster meaningful personal growth. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns and life transitions, and I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. My work draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages clients to embrace their thoughts and emotions with compassion while taking steps aligned with their values. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and capable of change. Together, we’ll focus on increasing self-awareness, building coping skills, and working toward lasting, meaningful growth. Therapeutic Focus: Children, Adolescents, & Adults Anxiety Stress Management Depression & Mood Disorders Life Transitions & Adjustment Difficulties Family & Relationship Dynamics Divorce & Co-Parenting Self-Esteem & Self-Worth Perfectionism & Fear of Failure Assertiveness & Communication Grief & Loss If you’re ready to begin your therapeutic journey and think we would be a good fit, feel free to contact me via email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to make sense of who you are, where you’re going, and how to handle life’s challenges. I work with students who feel like their emotions are out of control, are struggling with identity, navigating family stress, searching for community, or carrying the impact of past experiences. I understand how culture, family, and community shape our stories. Sometimes in ways that bring strength, and other times through cycles we want to break. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll build coping tools, create balance, and honor your culture, story, and strengths as you move toward a life that feels more meaningful and manageable.
