Nurturing Hearts Therapeutic Services, PLLC

Hi, I’m Shakara Nixon, LCSW, founder of Nurturing Hearts Therapeutic Services, PLLC. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, supported, and free from judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized because no two people—and no two journeys—are the same. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and other mental health concerns. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical tools for meaningful change. You are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, provide support and guidance, and help you develop the skills and insight needed to move toward the life you want. Whether you're working through a difficult experience, adjusting to a major life change, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, you don't have to navigate it alone. Nurturing Hearts Therapeutic Services currently provides virtual therapy to clients located in Florida and Virginia.
