Dr. Shakira Smith (Psypact)

At Erothots, we believe healing happens when people feel fully seen. That is why we are proud to introduce Dr. Shakira Smith (Psypact) a psychologist who creates a space where every part of you is welcome your identity, your desires, your fears, your history, and the pieces you’re still figuring out.

Dr. Smith’s work centers people who often feel pushed to the margins from LGBTQIA+ communities to folks exploring kink, non monogamy, sex work, or gender expansion. She brings a grounded, heart forward presence to therapy, helping clients navigate the messy, tender, and transformative parts of life. Her sessions invite curiosity, honesty, and liberation supporting you as you reconnect with yourself and your relationships in ways that feel whole.
