Meet Shantasia
Shantasia Pack, MSW, RCSWI (FL)
Hi, I’m Shantasia!
I work with young people during a stage of life that can bring a lot of change, pressure, questions, and growth. Together, we'll create space to make sense of what's happening, discover what matters to you, and build confidence in the person you're becoming.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe you already bring resilience and insight into the room.
​
My role isn't to hand you all the answers, but to help you recognize what's already there, build new skills, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you.​
I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as you are even when you're still figuring out exactly what that means.
WHO I WORK WITH
Growing up comes with a lot to figure out.
​​​Adolescence and young adulthood can bring a lot of change new expectations, growing independence, shifting relationships, and questions about who you are and where you fit.
AREAS WE CAN EXPLORE
Maybe you're overwhelmed by expectations. Maybe your mind won't slow down. Maybe you've stopped enjoying things you used to care about, or you're having a hard time understanding why you feel the way you do.
Or maybe you're trying to figure out who you are while everyone around you seems to have an opinion about who you should be.
You don't have to have a perfect explanation for what's going on before coming to therapy. We can start with what you're noticing.
Anxiety & Worry
​
Depression & Low Mood
Stress & Overwhelm
Self-Esteem & Confidence
Identity & Self-Discovery
Values & Decision-Making
Emotional Awareness
Coping Skills
Life Transitions
School, Social & Everyday Pressures
MY APPROACH
You don't have to have all the answers.
“My role isn't to hand down answers. It's to help you recognize what's already there.”
Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. I'm not here to tell you who you should be or hand you a list of answers. I'm here to get curious with you about what's happening and help you recognize the strengths and insight you already bring with you.
Depending on what you need, we may look at patterns in your thoughts, practice new ways of responding to difficult emotions, build coping skills, or simply create room to talk through something you've been carrying.
I draw from CBT, DBT, and talk therapy, while allowing our work to move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
