Shaina sees individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and couples seeking premarital & marriage counseling. She specializes in helping those in codependent and dysfunctional relationships. She uses her creativity to customize therapy for each client (or couple) in their unique situation, using multiple theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Attachment Therapy.

Shaina has completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Her premarital counseling program (10 sessions) is certified by Twogether in Texas to receive the discount on a marriage license.

Shaina is passionate about helping those who feel like they are in a dark place, whether that is from depression, suicidal thoughts, or spiritual abuse. She welcomes clients from any belief system. She has experience with Christian counseling. Shaina sees herself as an equal to her clients, and prioritizes developing a therapeutic relationship that is safe, accepting, and trustworthy. A verse that guides her practice is “admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all,” (1 Thess 5:14). From a young age, Shaina Cheever knew she wanted to help others “behind the scenes” to flourish and accomplish their goals. She believes every human has a story containing unique challenges they must navigate, and knows that some challenges can leave us feeling broken, alone, and stuck.
