About SHIFT Your Journey Mental Health Counseling

Our Mission

At SHIFT Your Journey Mental Health Counseling, we are committed to providing accessible and culturally responsive mental health counseling to help individuals—especially those in communities of color—heal from mental health struggles, navigate life transitions, and build a healthier future. We achieve this by:

  • Culturally Affirming Spaces: We envision building spaces where mental health care is a safe, culturally responsive resource for individuals, allowing them to express themselves authentically without fear of judgment.

  • Culturally Competent Care: Tailoring therapy to reflect the cultural, racial, and historical experiences of each individual, addressing the unique pressures faced by communities of color.

  • Generational Healing & Empowerment: By addressing and healing past traumas, we help break the cycle of generational pain and promote the emotional well-being of future generations, fostering a legacy of mental wellness and strength.

  • Life Transitions: Providing guidance through major life changes (e.g., career shifts, loss, relocation, identity transformations) to help individuals navigate these moments with strength and clarity.

  • Mental Health Support: Offering compassionate therapy to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges, promoting emotional balance and stability.

We are dedicated to supporting the whole person, offering real solutions for lasting change.

Our Vision

At SHIFT Your Journey, our vision is to empower individuals—especially in communities of color—to break free from generational struggles and build generational mental wealth.

We are committed to creating a diverse practice that serves a larger community, offering the tools and support needed to overcome trauma, navigate life’s changes, foster healing, and create a healthier, more fulfilling future for all.

What Makes SHIFT Different

We don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. Our therapists are trained to provide care that acknowledges racial trauma, systemic stress, family dynamics, and the cultural layers that shape your mental health. We meet you with compassion, accountability, and care that’s as complex and nuanced as your story.

Our Commitment to Clinical Excellence

At SHIFT, mental wellness is not just a profession—it’s a calling. Our clinicians are dedicated to ongoing professional development, receiving regular clinical supervision, and engaging in advanced trainings in modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed care. We also prioritize culturally affirming and anti-oppressive frameworks that recognize the impact of systemic injustice on mental health.

We stay current so that your care is not only compassionate—but effective.

Our Team & Approach

Our licensed therapists reflect the diverse communities we serve. We specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity-based challenges. Whether you're seeking therapy with a Black therapist, a Spanish-speaking provider, or someone who truly understands your cultural background, our team is here to support you.

Our Values: The 3Cs

  • This core value challenges us to seek competence in all areas of our practice from evidence-based treatment approaches to cultural competence. This core value also guides us in prioritizing our clients' experiences.

  • This core value grounds us in our work. When we approach our work from a place of compassion, empathy, and care, we are able to serve with respect, dignity, and integrity. We also suspend judgment and see our clients from a place of power, not brokenness.

  • A good therapeutic alliance is beneficial to a client's healing and growth. Through collaboration, we are able to help our clients gain insights to help them SHIFT their lives forward. This core value reminds us to also seek collaboration in our work.
