Tierra Shackleford-Banks, MA, MHC

Mental Health Counselor

Hi there! I’m Tierra; I offer therapy services at our Meadowlands clinic!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate who works with adolescents (12+), adults, families and couples using a trauma-informed approach. I have experience supporting clients with trauma, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, and various mental health concerns.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, therapy can be a step towards making sense of your experiences. You do not need to have all the answers before beginning. My role is to meet you where you are and support you in working toward self-understanding at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and respected. My focus is create a collaborative environment to develop insight into how past experiences influence present patterns, while building practical coping skills and emotional resilience.

I want you to know that you are more than your symptoms or your past experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood. I look forward to working with you and supporting you as you take steps toward greater emotional well-being.
