Hi! You’re seeking help because it is needed. That’s huge! Many people don’t seek treatment or therapy but you’re already on this path. Some folks don’t find the path. You’ve got some idea of what you need and are ready for someone to be along with you on this journey. We both know humans succeed in a team not so much when we are alone. First, give yourself credit because it takes a lot of courage to not do things alone and to be willing to open up to someone you do not know. Your courage is where our journey together starts. It would be an honor to be a part of your team in life, for life!
Oh, hi, by the way, I’m Shakera Snelling. I am a dual-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner: I diagnose, prescribe, and utilize therapy for mental health conditions and medical conditions. A diagnosis or symptoms helps us to figure out a plan together, but it is NOT who you are.( Yeah, I know you heard that before, but it’s true!).
High blood pressure does not define that person. Borderline personality, antisocial personality, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, substance use disorder, anxiety disorder, phobias, psychosis, self-harm, suicide attempts, and trauma does not define you either. Please KNOW you’re way more amazing, beautiful, and complex than a label. Let’s get started!
Take the first step to help. Shakera Kathleen Snelling now

I love to utilize Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills (wise mind, opposite action) mindfulness and/or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I also love Acceptance and Commitment therapy. It's hard to change our thoughts (in ways CBT suggest) instead ACT challenges that we can have our uncomfortable thoughts AND be moving toward our values. We can make space for these thoughts and move forward.
