What it’s like to work with Shaquille…

“Shaquille is a wonderful therapist! He is always kind and insightful. I have CPTSD and Shaquille is very mindful when I'm not ready to talk about something. I greatly appreciate him and have made a lot of strides in my healing journey because of him!”

“My experience working with Shaquille has been fantastic! He is a great listener, empathetic, and encourages you every step of the way. Shaquille ensures a steady pace that focuses on the feelings behind your thoughts and emotions. His interactions are personable and focused on you. I’m truly grateful for the support and insight he’s provided, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

“I’ve been seeing Shaquille for around four years, and he’s helped me manage my anxiety and better understand my feelings. He’s someone I can truly confide in, and he reminds me that I’m not alone. I’ve also really appreciated bonding over our shared passion for social change—it's made the experience feel even more meaningful.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Shaquille and the impact he’s had on my mental wellness journey. From the very first session, his warmth and authenticity put me at ease. He brings a genuine presence into the room—no pretense, just a real person who truly listens… I was especially grateful for his thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the African American experience… Beyond all the credentials and professionalism, Shaquille is simply someone I’d love to grab a beer or coffee with.

“There’s so much I could say. Before working with Shaquille, I had seen three other therapists over a 3.5-year span, and honestly, I was starting to feel disillusioned with therapy. But meeting Shaquille changed everything—I finally feel like I got it right, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate. Shaquille has been a breath of fresh air. His approach is thoughtful, grounded, and filled with care. He provides meaningful feedback, often pointing out nuances I hadn’t considered, and helps me reflect deeply on the things I’m working through. For the first time, I genuinely look forward to therapy… I can’t say enough good things about Shaquille. He has been a life saver for me, and I imagine anyone who’s had the chance to work with him would say the same.”
