She has worked in the community mental health sector for 9 years with children and their families as a residential case manager, behavioral aide, parent aide, counselor, and school-based therapist. As a therapist, Shatevia has worked with children who have been placed within the foster care system, experienced traumatic events in their lives, and struggle with depression, anxiety, behavioral and emotional issues, attachment issues, and other stressors.
Shatevia is currently in training to become a Registered Play Therapist. She believes that children learn best through play, and in turn also use play as a means of expression. As a therapist she believes that building a trusting relationship with your child is the key to a successful therapeutic journey. She uses a combined approach of person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and play therapy interventions to help your child achieve his or her therapeutic goals.
