Shakirra Pinnock, QMHP-E, CSAC-S, has devoted her career to advancing equitable mental health and substance use care. Her journey began in 2020 at the James Bentley Treatment Program, where she worked alongside her mother and gained early, hands-on experience in both clinical service delivery and compassionate, person-centered care.
Having lived overseas, Shakirra gained a global perspective and a deep appreciation for the advantages and resources available in the United States. This experience fuels her mission to ensure that children and families—especially those in underserved communities—have the opportunity to thrive. As a bilingual professional, she bridges cultural and language gaps, making care and education more accessible to diverse populations.
Inspired by the need to address health disparities in her community, Shakirra founded Ollivier Community Circle, leading a bold mission to expand access to nutritious food, culturally responsive mental health education, and holistic wellness resources for underserved families in Tidewater, Virginia.
Building on this foundation, she launched Kirra Counseling & Co. with a vision of creating accessible, client-centered treatment for individuals navigating mental health and substance use challenges. With more than six years of experience in the field, Shakirra is deeply committed to removing barriers to care, uplifting families, and fostering a culture of resilience, healing, and hope—one person at a time.
