Shaquira Wakefield
Therapist
As a therapist with the Jaxcyn Therapy Group, I assist individuals with managing their mental health and emotional well-being while providing support, guidance, and strategies to help clients navigate their challenges and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
​
Every potential client is unique in their lived experiences. Therapy should be a client-centered approach. Some modalities that have been helpful with past clients include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
