Therapist in New York, New York Shanika Hart, Therapist

Shanika Hart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York who has been practicing since 2017. When conflict arises, it can create internal and/or relational stress which can manifest itself in painful ways. And while the experience may be palpable, finding the words to express oneself might feel like a difficult task. Together with her clients, Shanika co-creates a space of understanding and acceptance where a safe exploration of the maladaptive patterns that contribute to such internal and relational stressors are brought into one’s awareness. Once self-awareness increases, there can be the identification and practice of desired behaviors and interactions that are more in line with the direction one aspires to walk in. With the use of evidenced based therapeutic interventions, Shanika supports individuals, couples and families take steps towards living more fulfilled and changed lives. Outside of work, Shanika enjoys watching movies with her family, dancing – whether out with loved ones or in the middle of the living room with her kids, cooking and/or trying out new dishes, and reading books.
