I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, warm, direct, and completely judgment-free.
I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy in Texas. If you've been sitting on that "maybe I should try therapy" thought for months, this is your sign.
​
I became a therapist because I believe deeply that healing is possible for everyone. Over the last 12+ years I've worked with thousands of women across Texas who came in exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure if anything could actually change.
Spoiler: it can. And it does.
​
My clients are women who are managing careers, kids, relationships, grief, and their own inner critic, often all at once.
They're not broken.
They're burned out.
They're doing the most, and their nervous systems are paying the price.
​
At Shanaz Ikonne, PLLC, I focus on delivering impactful solutions that empower both individuals and organizations to thrive in fast-paced environments, fostering resilience, productivity, and overall well-being. As a trauma expert, speaker, wellness strategist, and social justice advocate, I am passionate about increasing workplace and community wellness. My work has been featured at the University of Texas, Parents.com, and Asian Mental Health Collective, Medium, Aol.com.
​
Recognized by my community for Best in Small Biz Guide 2023 and Best in Birth, 2024, Best in Birth 2025, and Community Impact Award 2026.

For the Woman Who's Holding It All Together — Barely
You wake up exhausted before the day even starts. You're the one everyone leans on — at work, at home, in
the carpool line — and somewhere along the way, you stopped asking yourself: Am I okay?
​
You've Googled "why am I so tired all the time." You've cried in your car more times than you'd like to admit. You keep telling yourself you'll slow down after this week, this project, this season, but the next thing always comes.
​
You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. You need a space that's finally, fully yours.
That's what therapy with me looks like.
