Hi! I’m Shaquoi. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I earned my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Mississippi College.

While at Cleveland State, I placed specific focus on my development to become a LGBTQIA+ affirming and culturally competent therapist. I’m able to work with a wide variety of presenting concerns, including trauma, gender issues, affectional/sexuality orientation issues, self-esteem and depression. I have clinical experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents and children. I also have experience in working with young adults at a collegiate counseling center.

My aim is to create a comfortable, unbiased, safe space where the client’s goals are prioritized. My clients can expect to be met with support, respect, empathy and the confidence in their ability to cultivate positive change in their lives. I believe each individual is the expert in their lives and therapy is a collaboration between the client and therapist.

I have experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As a lifelong learner, I’m excited to expand my skills and therapeutic expertise through continuing education in various theoretic modalities.

My hope is to build a strong therapeutic relationship where we will explore your concerns and celebrate your successes.

I'm Tabitha and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) with extensive experience in the field. I also hold a trauma-informed certification from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and am passionate about helping clients navigate their unique healing journeys.

In my sessions I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and experiences. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, focusing on guiding clients towards their goals while also providing the necessary encouragement and push when avoidance hinders progress. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal in time, and my role is to support that process.

I love working with couples, adults, and older teens, using a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual's needs. For couples, I utilize the Gottman Method, which emphasizes strengthening relationships through improved communication and understanding. For other mental health conditions, I integrate different therapeutic techniques to find what works best for each client. As a Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) trained provider, I also offer support and guidance for parenting issues with young children, helping parents develop effective strategies for managing behavior and fostering positive family dynamics.

Transparency and collaboration are key components of my practice. I ensure that my clients understand the therapeutic process, and together, we explore and discover the most effective strategies for their healing.

Outside of my professional life, I am a proud dog mom of three and enjoy adventuring with my husband. 

I look forward to working with you and supporting your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
