Meet Shakera

Welcome to Empowered Minds Wellness Center, a sanctuary I created to bring compassionate, culturally sensitive, and accessible mental health care to every individual who walks through our virtual doors. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, my journey has been fueled by a deep-seated passion for empowering individuals from all walks of life.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that every person has an innate capacity for growth and resilience. In our sessions, you'll find a safe and nurturing space where your voice is heard and your experiences are valued. I specialize in integrating practical, real-life strategies with therapeutic techniques, ensuring that the care you receive is not only empathetic but also effective in addressing your unique needs.

Having started my career journey with a strong inclination towards medicine, I soon realized that my true calling lay in the realm of mental health and wellness. This realization has led me to focus on creating a therapeutic environment that is not just healing but also empowering, especially for minority communities who often face barriers in accessing mental health care.

At Empowered Minds Wellness Center, we're not just about providing therapy; we're about building a community of support, understanding, and growth. Whether you're navigating life's challenges, seeking to manage stress and anxiety, or simply looking for a space to explore your thoughts and feelings, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Together, let's embark on a journey towards a more empowered and fulfilled life.
