She/Her/Hers
I am a Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 21 years of experience. I have three Master’s degrees, and a doctorate degree. The goal of my career is to help my clients deal with mental illness that disrupts their normal functioning and help them regain a restored sense of balance and function with the use of both therapy and medication.
Therapist Overview
Welcome! I’m Shumeka Hill, your dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Specialist. With a compassionate heart and a steadfast commitment to your well-being, I specialize in nurturing the mental health of individuals grappling with challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance addiction.
My approach is personalized and holistic, focusing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to craft a path to recovery that respects your unique needs. By integrating the latest evidence-based practices into our sessions—conveniently available via Zoom—I ensure that you receive care that’s both effective and accessible.
Beyond mental health, my expertise extends to providing comprehensive primary care, including chronic condition management and complex wound care, all while keeping your goals at the forefront. My educational journey, marked by a consistent 4.0 GPA across multiple degrees in Nursing, reflects my dedication to excellence and lifelong learning.
As I work towards my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), my mission is to empower you through education about your health, promote independence in managing your care, and advocate for mental health advancements. Together, let’s embark on a journey towards healing and hope.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As a therapist, I engage in a warm and empathic style. I work with my clients to help them develop greater self-understanding and to identify the patterns holding them back from living their fullest and most meaningful lives. Together, we identify ways of approaching these challenges with greater flexibility and self-awareness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I also have special training working with trauma and chemical dependency. I do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification, physical or mental ability, or military status.
