Deonae S Shackelford

Do you feel weighed down by stress, past experiences, or emotions you’ve had to carry for too long? Ready to feel grounded, whole, and more like yourself again? Healing is possible and the strength to transform your life already lives within you. In our work together, I will help you gently uncover what’s been holding you back, release old patterns, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. Together, we’ll explore new perspectives, cultivate resilience, integrate mindfulness, and create a path toward clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom. You deserve a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and authentically yours.

I integrate a holistic mind-body-spirit approach to support adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, grief, and life transitions. I specialize in working with women 45+, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone seeking deeper self-discovery My goal is to help you feel seen, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for empowerment.

I am a part of SABI Holistic Therapy, one of California's leading integrative therapy groups.
