BIOGRAPHY:

Shameka Arrington is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) with years of experience and has won a Clinical Excellence award! She is passionate about helping teenagers, individuals, couples, and families reconnect and heal through therapy with a warm, supportive, and practical approach. Shameka creates a safe space where clients can explore challenges and begin working toward meaningful change.

Shameka specializes in helping couples and families reunite by improving communication, processing emotions, and building healthy relational dynamics. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques to help clients develop tools they can apply in everyday life, empowering them to navigate difficulties both inside and outside of the therapy room. She is also passionate about helping women and blended families work through difficult challenges.

Whether she’s working with a teen navigating emotional stress, a couple rebuilding connection, or a family working toward unity, Shameka is committed to guiding her clients with empathy, structure, and care. Her goal is to help each person feel seen, heard, and equipped to take the next steps toward healing. Shameka also does well at integrating psychoeducation. Psychoeducation is a therapeutic intervention that involves teaching individuals—and often their families—about mental health conditions, coping strategies, and treatment options. It aims to empower people by increasing their understanding of psychological issues, which can enhance treatment outcomes, reduce stigma, and promote recovery.

Shameka is also a huge advocate for self-care and prioritizing mental health in order to enjoy/experience the joys of life. She is also passionate about helping women during her counseling journey. Shameka is unique in the aspect that she is an ordained minister, and loves advocating for people that may not have a voice.

Shameka accepts all types of Medicaid (MDWise, Anthem Medicaid, Traditional Medicaid, CareSource Medicaid, MHS). She also accepts Humana Healthy Horizons, Cigna, Aetna, PHP, and EAP insurances. Finally, Shameka accepts other payment options such as self-pay and the sliding scale option.
