Meet JaKeitha Shoemaker
As an educator turned therapist, I have gained a deep passion for culture, community, and healing. After spending years in the classroom, I witnessed firsthand how much unspoken emotions weigh young people, and the adults who care for them have. That experience led me to gain insight on the world of mental health. My goal is to offer support and let you know that healings is possible for everyone.
Being a BIPOC provider, I honor the importance of cultural identity in the healing journey. Whether you’re navigating life’s waves, working through trauma, or simply seeking a safe place to be seen and heard, I’m here to walk alongside you. I work with youth, young adults, and adults. My priority is to bring authenticity, compassion, and community to every session, because growth isn’t about avoiding the waves, it’s about learning to move with them.
Let's Navigate This Together.
