It's Time to Evolve.
Change is an inevitable part of life and sometimes, it can be overwhelming. As we grow and evolve, we may find ourselves needing support to navigate new challenges, old patterns, or unexpected transitions. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to reflect and evolve with intention. You don't have to face change alone; together, we can move towards resilience and hope.

Meet Shamika Hawkins, LCSW
I'm Shamika Hawkins, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed through the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board. I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change in their lives.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Family and Community Services from East Carolina University and a Master of Social Work from Boise State University. With more than a decade of experience in the mental health field, I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including residential and medical facilities as well as community mental health and social service agencies.
Throughout my career, I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a range of life circumstances. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of the unique challenges people face and the importance of providing compassionate, individualized support that recognizes each person's needs, strengths, and experiences.
My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that everyone's journey is different. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your experiences, gaining insight, and developing tools to navigate life's challenges.
I believe therapy isn't about having all the answers or having everything figured out. It's about giving yourself the space to be heard, understand yourself more deeply, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create.
At Evolve Behavioral Health Services, my goal is to meet you where you are, support your growth, and help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
