Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Cheerful Heart was created to offer the kind of care many women need but struggle to find—care that takes women’s pain seriously, especially Black women’s pain. The practice was founded by Shakira K. O’Garro, LMHC-D, whose lived experience with severe stage IV endometriosis, adenomyosis, and medical trauma informs every layer of this work. Like many clients, she navigated years of dismissal within medical systems and discovered how deeply those experiences can impact mental health and faith.
Cheerful Heart exists so women no longer have to choose between clinical excellence and cultural or spiritual understanding. This is a space where faith questions are welcome, anger toward God is met with compassion, and healing is supported by genuine loving kindness.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
I have over 34 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents.
Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to…
- Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment
- Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology
- Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners
- Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program
- Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs
On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy.
My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist.
I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
