Hi, I’m Shanika—a licensed Psychotherapist, certified School Social Worker, and advocate for mental health and social-emotional development. With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Saint Joseph, I specialize in EMDR, CBT, play therapy, and more. I serve both children and adults through in-person and telehealth sessions in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
I am the Founder of Calm and Wellness Therapeutic Services, a practice offering psychotherapy, professional development workshops, community events, leadership programs, and mentorship. Beyond therapy, I support entrepreneurs in streamlining their businesses and client relations. I’m also proud to be a contributing author of Blessed Not Broken, Vol. 5, where I share my journey through adversity as a social worker, entrepreneur, and mother.
My mission is to uplift and empower individuals, families, and communities by offering compassionate, personalized support and practical tools for personal development. I am dedicated to creating safe spaces where people can explore their challenges, discover their inner strengths, and build the resilience needed to thrive.
