Shanitra Davis, LPC-Associate

Meet Shanitra "Nitra" Davis, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Monalisa Bryant MS, LPC-S. Holding a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Bachelor's of Science in Child and Family Development with a minor in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University, Shanitra brings a wealth of academic and practical experience to her practice.

Having spent years in social services as a preschool teacher, Family Development Worker, and Probation Officer, Shanitra recognized a pressing need in the community for dedicated mental health advocates. It was during this time that her passion for mental health counseling and interventions blossomed. Committed to destigmatizing mental health, Shanitra aims to normalize therapy as a regular practice for everyone. She firmly believes that just as we care for our physical health, our mental well-being also requires attention and nurturing.

In therapy, Shanitra employs a person-centered approach, guiding individuals to explore the intricate connections between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, she helps clients identify and replace negative thought patterns with healthier alternatives. Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, Shanitra tailors her approach to suit their specific needs and interests.

Specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions/adjustment issues, Shanitra is dedicated to providing a safe space where clients can experience empathy without judgment. She understands the challenges life presents and believes that therapy equips individuals with the tools to navigate these rough patches successfully.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, Shanitra welcomes you to therapy.
