Hi! My name is Shikira. I’m a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree in nursing practice. I’m originally from Ohio. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, sports, travel, community service activities, and my beloved fur babies. If you are looking for a provider who actually listens and cares about their clients, then look no further.

I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential treatment settings throughout my 10 + years in healthcare.

I would love to partner with you on your journey towards healing and wellness. My experience is in medical/surgical nursing, brief counseling, and adult and adolescent mental health care. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential treatment settings throughout my 12+ years in healthcare. I believe my clients, families, and I are a team. Using evidence-based guidelines, I will help you achieve optimal mental health. While medications are helpful in many cases, I don’t believe in just “pushing pills” on to people. I prefer a holistic approach to help you thrive. With me, you will have a compassionate caregiver who truly wants to see you grow! I look forward to working with you soon.

First session

During your first appointment I will ask a lot of questions about your complete health history, current symptoms, and demographic information. We will also discuss treatment options, potential diagnoses, referral options (if needed), a safety plan (if needed), and a treatment plan.

Strengths

My biggest strengths are my genuine desire to help people, positive attitude, and being a well-rounded professional with lots of experience.

Ideal clients

I am licensed as an Adult Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I primarily treat adults, but I have experience with all age groups and can treat clients ages 14 and up. My ideal client is someone who is comfortable with virtual healthcare, able to effectively use a telehealth platform, and motivated and willing to be an active partner in their journey towards improved mental health and healing.

Shikira was authentic, warm ,holistic and personable. She listened to my history and took the time to hear about my symptoms. I felt heard and understood and she was solution oriented and gave me a real time plan to help find the best treatment for me. I felt hopeful that I will find the right treatment that works for me.

Ms. Woods is kind, respectful and knowledgeable. She is always open to hearing what's on the mind of her patients with a view to solving the underlying issue. She is also open to providing holistic suggestions. I appreciate her so much!
