🌿 Meet Shatara Sheppard, lcmhc
At the heart of Evole-Integrative Counseling is Shatara , a licensed clinical therapist, mindset healer, and compassionate guide dedicated to helping individuals heal from the wounds of childhood trauma and step into their power. As the founder of Evole, Shatara brings a deep passion for transformation and personal growth, supporting clients as they reconnect with themselves, rediscover their purpose, and create lives filled with meaning.
Her journey into the field of counseling began with her own lived experience and a personal understanding of how early life events shape the mind, body, and soul. This insight fuels her mission to provide a safe, nurturing space where people can process their pain, reclaim their strength, and begin the journey toward lasting healing.
Shatara’s therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative, blending evidence-based practices with trauma-informed care and alternative healing methods. Each session is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual. Beyond one-on-one therapy, she offers tools for continued growth—including self-guided worksheets, online courses, and e-books—to support healing between and beyond sessions.
Her commitment to personal development doesn’t stop at the therapy room; Shatara continues to engage in her own healing journey, believing that self-awareness and growth are essential to truly helping others.
✨ Outside the Therapy Room
When she’s not supporting clients, Shatara enjoys spending time with her family and close friends, exploring new restaurants, grounding herself in nature, reading, and embracing “il dolce far niente” — the sweetness of doing nothing.
🎓 Education & Experience
Shatara holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Asheville, NC, where she graduated with honors. She has held various roles in community mental health settings, gaining valuable experience that continues to inform her compassionate, client-centered approach.
As the founder of Evole-Integrative Counseling, PLLC, based in Charlotte, NC, Shatara is honored to walk alongside individuals on their healing journeys—offering support, insight, and a grounded space to grow.
