Therapist

Virtual • Buffalo, NY


I admire you for your courage and vulnerability in seeking counseling services. Your pain matters, you deserve to be heard, and you are worthy of the help you receive. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Trying to heal from your worst experiences in life may leave you questioning yourself, your reality, and your feelings. Trauma can leave us with outdated beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. I am here to help you challenge and replace those beliefs in a safe, supportive environment where you are seen and heard.

Shaquala Fields

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.


It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!
