Have you or a loved one faced challenges such as living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, ADHD, or battling substance use or addiction? Perhaps you’ve sought treatment before but felt judged or misunderstood. You’re searching for a mental health provider who truly understands severe mental illness, substance use, or legal challenges—someone who will walk with you step by step as you rebuild your life. By considering the basic functions of life through the lens of Maslow's hierarchy, I extend my mental health care to include resources and connections that are vital for your journey.
I am Shakirah Wilson, and I understand the challenges of poverty, trauma, and mental health issues. My approach helps clients across the lifespan develop individualized treatment plans that respect their beliefs and values. I also provide psychotherapy and medication management, prioritizing your physical and mental health.
I offer services to help you navigate symptoms of mental illness or substance use to promote harm reduction and coping skills. Utilizing techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and relapse prevention, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open about your experiences.
