Meet Shakita
Concentration in Children and Family Development
Since 2011, I have dedicated my career to supporting youth in school-based settings, with a strong emphasis on urban education. I bring extensive experience working with students diagnosed with emotional disturbances as well as a wide range of behavioral and developmental challenges.
Throughout my career, I have facilitated daily social skills groups, provided individualized one-on-one support, and led targeted group interventions designed to meet diverse student needs. My work is grounded in a deep commitment to fostering inclusive, supportive environments where students can develop socially and emotionally while achieving academic success.
I am a trauma-focused therapist specializing in working with children and young adults. My clinical approach is grounded in an understanding of how trauma impacts emotional regulation, behavior, relationships, and overall development across the lifespan. I am dedicated to helping clients process traumatic experiences in a safe, supportive, and developmentally appropriate manner.
