About Shaakira Gillette
Her work emphasizes introspection and self-awareness, guiding clients to trace how internal beliefs and past experiences show up in relationships and behavior. She uses meditation, hypnotherapy, sound-based exercises, and psychoeducation alongside psychodynamic-informed work and shadow work to support insight into subconscious material. This combination aims to surface core beliefs and unresolved trauma that may be limiting growth.
Assessment begins with a review of behavioral health history, current challenges, and wellness goals, followed by a collaboratively developed plan that may include coaching around mindfulness, diet, lifestyle, and energy connection. Shaakira references elemental frameworks such as water, earth, fire, and air as metaphors for different aspects of healing and regulation, integrating those perspectives with practical interventions.
Shaakira works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, family and grief issues, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges with eating and sleeping. She also focuses on attachment issues, first responder stresses, self-harm, self-love, sexual assault recovery, and young adult transitions. Her practice aims to create meaningful change through guided reflection, experiential exercises, and sustained therapeutic collaboration.
