About Shaniqua Smith
Clients encounter a therapist who pairs attentiveness and a sense of humor with practical skill - she remembers the small but meaningful details that shape a persons healing. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, or questions of self-esteem and identity, she centers care on real-life tools that promote lasting change. Her work often focuses on attachment issues, communication and control patterns, self-love, and support through pregnancy, childbirth, and HIV and AIDS related concerns.
Shaniqua invites clients to slow down, identify patterns that keep them stuck, and strengthen coping strategies so they can move toward greater balance and confidence. She encourages collaborative, sincere work that honors each persons priorities and builds practical skills to carry beyond therapy sessions. Outside of clinical work she is a hiking enthusiast who created Hike & Heal - outdoor therapeutic sessions that combine mindfulness, movement, and conversation to restore perspective and resilience.
Grounded in evidence-based practice and a client-centered ethic, Shaniqua approaches therapy as a partnership that helps people write the next chapter of their lives with intention and self-trust.
