Hi, I'm Shanika Smith and I have 8+ years of working experience as a mental health nurse practitioner. I understand the complexities of mental health and the impact that it can have on an individual's life and overall health. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment. I embrace a holistic approach which means I consider ALL aspects of well-being: mind, body, and soul! I am currently seeing patients ages 13 years and older. I provide individualized care for a variety of mental health disorders. I use my expertise in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology to help patients overcome psychological challenges.
With the correct treatment and support, mental health conditions are treatable. Through tailored treatment plans, I help patients to better navigate their lives and daily challenges. I have been trained to work with a diverse range of individuals facing various health mental challenges and illnesses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders.
I encourage my patients to talk about their feelings, concerns, and problems in a nonjudgemental environment, through the use of supportive therapy. Supportive therapy is a type of therapy that primarily focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges.
