You are busy taking care of everything and everyone else, and you keep putting yourself last on the list. For you, this has gone on long enough. You are ready for a change but don’t know where to start.

This wasn’t supposed to happen! How often do we find ourselves in situations that we thought we wouldn’t be in, and yet here we are? Perhaps we thought we had our sh-t figured out, and yet our circumstances have shown us otherwise. I’ve seen this unfold in my own life, and in the lives of my clients. Maybe it’s time to look a little bit deeper, and go further back into your life than you thought you ever had to for answers. Whatever is bringing you here could represent an opportunity for real healing and growth, and I would be honoured to be able go through this journey with you.

As a Christian therapist and wedding officiant, I blend empathy with a holistic approach to reconnecting and healing.
You’re tired of feeling like you’re the only one holding things together. The love, connection, and trust that once came so easily now feel out of reach. Maybe you feel unheard, unseen, or like you’re constantly walking on eggshells. You’re exhausted from giving so much, yet feeling like it’s never enough. That emotional weight of managing everything—your relationship, your family, your faith—has left you drained. You long for things to feel easier, to feel like partners again. I’m here to help you rebuild that closeness, find your voice, and bring back the joy you’ve been missing.

Why Christian therapy? Because many Christians believe they have to separate their mental health from their faith and that is not the case! We cannot leave our faith out of our healing journey because it is a large part of who we are.

I have been in the social work field for 8 years, with ample experience working with youth, young adults and marginalized communities. I am the founder and clinical director of Shannyah Christian Psychotherapy & Consulting where I offer safe spaces for Christians to heal from trauma and mental illnesses, while intersecting faith and mental health practices. I have worked with many clients who have experienced trauma & PTSD, depression & anxiety, mental health disorders, identity issues, life transitions, church hurt and other faith-based issues.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
