Hi, I’m Shannyah
Speaker • Social Worker • Psychotherapist • Content Creator • Founder • Entrepreneur • Aspiring Neuroscientist
Most importantly, I am a lover and follower of Jesus Christ.
This all started when I was diagnosed with clinical depression in my last year of undergrad. I struggled for months and felt like I had no purpose in life. I was hopeless, discouraged, suicidal and far from God. During this time, I sought out help but found it to be difficult. This experience exposed a lack of mental health support in both the Black and Christian community. The therapist I was assigned to did not understand the complexity of my faith in my mental health journey and did more harm than good. It wasn’t until I built my relationship with God that my true healing journey began. I later became a Christian psychotherapist at the direction of the Holy Spirit. God challenged me to study the very thing that almost ended my life and help others by offering to them what I never had, therapy with God in it.
Now, I have dedicated my life to support others in their healing journey.
On a less serious note, I love reading, going out to restaurants, watching testimonies online, going on walks and potatoes! I religiously believe pineapples belong on pizza and oreo toppings should be on all deserts.
More about Shannyah & Co.
I am on assignment to bridge the gap between science and faith. By intersecting the two, I desire to help people heal, become whole and walk in their God-given purpose, which I strongly believe is rooted in intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
Some of the ways I do this is:
By moving people away from coping towards healing
Through education, consultations, trainings and speaking engagements
Through therapy & counselling services
By teaching people how to become intimate with the Holy Spirit
By supporting the advancement of research and practices that intersect faith and science
To bridge the gap between science and faith through healing, encouragement and education, leading people to real intimacy with God.
Mission
To help hurt people heal, become whole and walk in their purpose.
