As an immigrant, my passion lies in supporting BIPOC and migrant populations who have experienced violence and sexual trauma, as well as working with relationships from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. Cultural humility and sensitivity are essential to my practice.

With over 30 years of experience to offer, I'm pleased to say that most of my clients have been referred by their friends who are or have been clients. When mutual respect develops, it ensures the trust and comfort needed to address and resolve most problems. I have always felt blessed and privileged to be a therapist and to sit with someone who is grappling with some of the most meaningful aspects of their lives. When you contact me, I'll be happy to honestly explore whether or not this will be a good therapeutic relationship.

At One Heartt, we understand that seeking mental health care often comes after a long period of coping, pushing through, or caring for everyone else first. You may be experiencing burnout, navigating neurodiversity, managing grief or trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. We believe your experiences deserve to be met with compassion, skill, and respect. Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

Are you dealing with multiple challenges that impact your daily life—like anxiety, feelings of low self-worth, communication breakdowns or relationship struggles? As a systemic therapist, I aim to explore and intervene in the patterns of interaction that sustain or perpetuate problems within these systems. The goal is not just to treat the individual, but to examine the broader relational or contextual dynamics that add to the issue. I believe that every challenge is an opportunity. By looking at these connections, we can uncover patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your difficulties and work together to shift them.

Are anxiety, anger, alienation, sadness or confusion causing you to feel overwhelmed trapped or hopelessly thwarted in reaching your goals? Or do you feel a deep longing for change? The call to deepen your understanding of yourself, of others, or your situation is often signaled by negative thoughts, painful feelings, or a work or relationship crisis. The opportunity to talk with someone who is accepting and takes a practical approach restores hope, rekindles desire, resolves conflict, and directs the flow of energy towards positive movement.

I can be most helpful to you if you are interested in growing yourself and your own potential for intimacy and sexuality. Instead of identifying what's "wrong" with you, I focus on your strengths. By balancing your desire for autonomy and your desire for connection, you can increase your capacity for desire and eroticism in intimate sexuality. As an active therapist, I'm willing to challenge you and your partner to develop and grow yourself up.

My name is Dr. Shaqueal Stevens, LCSW-C, and I am pleased to guide you and your child in the therapeutic process. Children experience various life changes that are sometimes hard for them to understand and work through. They may have difficulty identifying or expressing their feelings about life changes, such as divorce or separation, death, or going to a new school. They may have challenges with attention or focus, following instructions to complete tasks, or making friends. All of these experiences are very real, important and impactful in a child's life. I'm here to help your child reach individualized goals we set together.

Through therapy, I help people who seek connection, a deeper connection within themselves and their relationships. Using a “biopsychosocial” approach, I help people explore how past and present experiences shape their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and nervous system. With expertise in brain anatomy and neuroscience, I empower people by helping them recognize when and why specialized neural systems are activated, helping them gain self-awareness, prepare a plan of action, and implement change.

Usually, my clients seek therapy and counseling after struggling with challenges for months and sometimes years. Over time, these same challenges create new concerns. Albert Einstein wrote that " we can't solve today's problems with the mentality that created them" With this in mind, it is better to seek professional services and resources: Recognizing you're not alone in this healing process.

Hello, and welcome to my page! I work with people who have a wide variety of conditions stemming from relational and environmental stress. I believe that we are naturally programmed to heal, but often we rely on past coping skills that are no longer functional, and this blocks the path to healing. I think every symptom once served a purpose and that change can occur by looking at how and why these symptoms developed, while at the same time trying new behaviors.
