Hey! The fact that you're here, reading this, looking for help? That's huge. A lot of people never get this far, so give yourself some credit — that took courage. Oh, and by the way, I'm Shakera Snelling, dual board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner. Here's the thing I want you to know before anything else: a diagnosis helps us figure out a plan together, but it is NOT who you are. (Yeah, I know you've heard that before — but it's true!) High blood pressure doesn't define a person, and neither does anxiety, depression, OCD, or trauma. You're way more amazing, beautiful, and complex than a label. Let's get started!

My ideal client is an adult or young adult who is emotionally exhausted from trying to “hold it together” while silently struggling. They may appear functional on the outside—working, parenting, or meeting responsibilities—but internally they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand.

FAQ - Black and African American Psychiatrists
As an African American, why might I wish to see a psychiatrist who is African American?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of mental health conditions using approaches such as therapy and medication management. For many Black and African American individuals, finding a psychiatrist who shares their racial background can be an important part of feeling understood and supported in care. This preference may reflect a desire for culturally-informed treatment or a deeper sense of connection with someone who better understands one’s unique challenges and lived experiences. While licensed psychiatrists of all backgrounds are equally qualified, Black psychiatrists may bring both personal and professional insight into issues such as racial trauma, identity, discrimination, and other culturally-specific factors that can shape a person’s mental health.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black psychiatrists?
If you're unable to find a psychiatrist who personally identifies as Black, you may also consider providers who demonstrate experience and an openness to working with individuals of all backgrounds. You might also explore a blended therapy approach—for example, seeing a psychiatrist for medication management while also working with a Black therapist or counselor for additional culturally-informed support. Psychology Today’s online directory is a helpful tool to support your search for Black provider. The directory allows you to filter specifically for Black or African American psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). As you review provider profiles, consider their clinical focus to see whether they have experience with concerns related to racial identity, trauma, or specific populations (e.g., men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals). It's also important to review practical details such as therapeutic modalities, whether they offer in-person or telehealth services, languages spoken, and accepted insurance plans to ensure their care is accessible and aligned with your needs.
