A transformative therapy experience is waiting for you at SHIFT Your Journey.

Experience the SHIFT: 10 Reasons to Start Your Healing Journey with Us

  1. Personalized and Authentic Culturally Sensitive Care
    At SHIFT Your Journey, we offer therapy that is truly personalized to your unique needs, ensuring you feel understood, respected, and supported—no matter your background or experiences. This isn't just a service we provide; it's our specialty, where we focus on creating a meaningful, tailored experience for you every step of the way.

  2. Diverse, Experienced Therapists
    At SHIFT Your Journey, our team comes from different countries, cultural backgrounds, and professional experiences, allowing us to connect deeply with clients from all walks of life. With expertise across social services, education, business, policy, healthcare, and more, we bring a wealth of diverse perspectives to our work. We believe that our multicultural and multidisciplinary backgrounds are not only beneficial to our team but also enhance the therapy experience, ensuring that we offer empathetic, inclusive, and culturally relevant support to help you thrive on your wellness journey

  3. Therapy in Multiple Languages
    Offering therapy in multiple languages is essential because it allows clients to feel truly understood and supported in their native tongue. Language is a fundamental part of self-expression, and being able to communicate in a language you are most comfortable with fosters a deeper sense of trust and connection with your therapist. It creates a safe, welcoming space where clients can openly explore their emotions, challenges, and experiences without the barriers of language, ultimately promoting a more effective and meaningful therapeutic process. At SHIFT Your Journey, we recognize the importance of language in healing, ensuring that each client feels valued and heard on their wellness journey.

  4. Evidence-Based Methods, Not Just Talking!
    We use proven, effective therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to ensure your healing is backed by science, not just talking! We track your progress and adjust your treatment plan to make sure we are helping you meet your therapy goals.

  5. Flexible Online Therapy Options
    Whether you seek virtual therapy in Connecticut or New York, we offer flexibility to fit your schedule and needs, allowing you to receive support in the way that works best for you.

  6. Focus on Diverse and BIPOC Communities
    We specialize in working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), creating an affirming and supportive space for communities of color. This is what we do!

  7. Specialized Support for All Ages
    Whether you're seeking therapy for children (11+), teens, adults, couples, or families, we have therapists experienced in working with all age groups and life stages.

  8. Support for a Wide Range of Issues
    From ADHD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and trauma, to relationship challenges and life transitions, we offer therapy for a broad spectrum of mental health concerns.

  9. Holistic Approach to Wellness
    We focus on the whole person—addressing emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being to create lasting positive change in your life.

  10. Empathetic, Non-Judgmental Care
    At SHIFT Your Journey, we create a supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, challenges, and growth without fear of judgment.

Transforming mental healthcare with our unique SHIFT approach

SHIFT Your Journey Mental Health Counseling is a licensed mental health practice focused on effective mental health care. We use a holistic approach, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of your well-being. We recognize that culture and personal identity are important in mental health.

Understanding your past and how it affects your present is key for growth, which is central to our SHIFT Principle™️. The path to better mental health can be challenging, but your SHIFT therapist will support you throughout the journey.

We will create clear goals to help you move forward. We recognize that your culture, experiences, and identity may affect your ability to reach these goals. We work together and track your progress, making adjustments as needed for your success. Our focus is not only on discussing problems but also creating a roadmap to addressing the issues effectively. Our goal is to help you thrive and lead a fulfilling life. We emphasize your strengths and empower you to understand your mental health and triggers, which can help reduce challenges.

The SHIFT 3-Step Process

At SHIFT Your Journey Mental Health Counseling, we understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. To make the process easier and more accessible, we've designed a 3-step approach to guide you from the initial appointment request to finding the right therapist for your unique mental health needs. Whether you're seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, or anything else, we're here to support you on your journey to emotional well-being. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Request an Appointment

To start, request an appointment. We'll ask a few questions to understand how we can help you and find the right therapist for you. Our Client Care Coordinator will assist you with the next steps, schedule a consultation if needed, and help you complete the initial paperwork. They will also answer your questions and guide you to step 2.

Step 2: Finding the Right Therapist

After you book an appointment, we'll help you fill out the necessary forms and connect you with a suitable therapist. Our diverse team specializes in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, post-partum depression, life changes, trauma, and more. If you need a therapist who speaks Spanish, Twi, Hindi, Ga, or French, or understands your culture, we will help you find the right fit. Our therapists use effective methods to support your mental health goals and are ready to assist everyone.

Step 3: Begin Your Therapy Journey

After we match you with the right therapist, your therapy journey starts! You can have regular online sessions in Connecticut or New York. Online therapy is flexible, allowing you to attend sessions from home, saving travel time and reducing stress. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship issues, virtual therapy offers valuable support, even with a busy life. We know online therapy isn't for everyone or every situation, and if it's not a good fit, we will provide feedback and help you find a better way to reach your mental health goals.
