More about Shimika

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Growing up watching my grandmother struggle daily with mental illness, I naturally grew to have a heart for helping other people. I have spent the last decade of my life in the helping community and I believe that it is my life’s purpose to help people actualize the life they wish to have. I explain my position as a therapist by saying this to my clients, “It’s not my job to fix you because you are not broken. It’s my job to help you see things in a different way that will help you to function better” I welcome you as clients to embark on this journey of healing. It’s not always easy but the results with be so rewarding.

Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to and I’m here to listen. I will not just throw interventions at you without attempting to understand you and your issues. As your therapist, I understand that therapy is hard and not meant to be rushed. I will meet you where you are and it is my hope that I can help you improve your quality of life.

If you are struggling and need help, I am here to assist you. Please feel free to reach out via the platform. Thank you so much for viewing my profile. Even if you decide not to contact me, please find someone that you feel you will be comfortable with. Help is only one click away. Looking forward to healing with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She allows me to be me. She challenges me when I dig in on stuff going on in my life when it may not be a healthy decision for me. She makes me pause to reflect and to really process things. Plus she looks lime. It is an amazing thing to have a therapist of color.

I’ve only had 3 sessions with Shimika so far and have already felt so much lighter, seen, and understood. Working with Shimika has been a breathe of fresh air in a time of my life where I’ve been needing support and encouragement as I continue to grow and learn. 10/10 Recommend!

Better Help is my first experience with therapy. After quickly outgrowing my first therapist, Shimika came into my life at the right time. Her presence makes you feel safe. She is empathetic and positive. She continues to challenge me when needed, in a way that is nurturing and kind. I look forward to my calls with her each week. Even if its been a rough week, I know after talking with her I will feel better and more equipped to handle those tough situations in the future.

Shimika has such a warm and welcoming approach to therapy. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry, and she makes me take a good long look at myself in the mirror. Her energy is so empathetic and supportive but she knows how to boost my mood and bring me up when I need it too. I absolutely adore my sessions with her! She is authentic, kind and very well versed in many topics.
