Shakira Pierre-Louis
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Child Therapy. With nearly a decade of experience working with children, teens, individuals, and couples, I specialize in helping families navigate behavioral challenges, ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship restoration.
My passion for working with children and families stems from my years of experience in child-care centers, school systems, and one-on-one mentoring. I understand both the joys and challenges of caregiving and am committed to helping parents feel supported, empowered, and more connected to their children. Whether it’s strengthening communication, setting healthy boundaries, or managing big emotions, I help families create more harmony at home.
Beyond my work with children and families, I also support adults and couples navigating relational struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and trauma processing. I take an attachment-oriented, trauma-informed approach, blending neuroscience, emotional awareness, and relational connection to help clients break free from unhelpful patterns and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I believe therapy should be a space of emotional safety, reflection, and growth, where struggles are met with compassion, grace, and deeper understanding. My style is warm, collaborative, and insight-driven, with a balance of playfulness, honesty, and empathy to create a meaningful and transformative experience.
Currently living in Maryland, I enjoy spending quality time with loved ones, cooking, and writing—activities that keep me grounded and connected in my own life.
