Connect with Shakira Michelle Eakins
I work closely with clients to help them connect deeply with themselves and their community. I see clients 18+ virtually who are residents of Arkansas and Oklahoma. My mission is to develop healthy therapeutic relationships and build community through individual counseling and community yoga. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with 13+ years' experience providing therapy, advocating for the oppressed, and collaborating with community partners. I also provide workshops for other professionals in many different settings.
My primary areas of focus include Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood emotional wounds, and other challenges that affect their ability to feel safe and connected. I am a solution-focused, client-centered therapist who uses inner child and polyvagal theory interventions.
I focus on first building the therapeutic relationship through talk, leaving space for response, humor, and mindfulness-based activities. I have found that this helps clients feel safe enough to begin examining whatever challenges they are focused on for that session. I invite you to reach out to me using this site or my website link!
