Therapist in Matthews, North Carolina Shantele Weaver, Therapist

Shantele Weaver, LCMHC, helps patients build stability, insight, and practical coping skills to navigate emotional challenges and life transitions. She provides individual therapy for adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors across North Carolina, offering a supportive and structured space for those seeking effective mental health care for anxiety, depression, and crisis-related concerns. A core focus of Shantele’s work is supporting adolescents and young adults experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, and acute emotional distress. She is deeply committed to risk management, safety planning, and crisis intervention, helping patients and families reduce immediate risk while developing long-term strategies for emotional regulation and resilience. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, clarity, and empowerment, particularly for teens navigating school stress, identity development, and overwhelming emotions. In addition to crisis-focused care, Shantele works with individuals managing anxiety and depression across the lifespan, as well as those facing grief, medical conditions, and major life transitions such as midlife and later-life changes. She has extensive experience supporting older adults coping with health-related challenges and shifting roles, helping patients maintain dignity, autonomy, and purpose during times of change. Shantele integrates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, while also offering additional therapeutic approaches tailored to each patient’s goals. Shantele treats teens, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and she brings a calm, attentive presence to her work with both men and women. Outside of therapy, Shantele is an avid dog lover who enjoys reading for both learning and leisure, and she loves to travel—even short trips close to home.
