Get to know me

As the proud owner of Shay Talks Therapy established in the vibrant heart of NYC, I stand as a therapist of color who has always envisioned a career dedicated to empowering and supporting my community. From the outset, my path was clear – I was destined to be a therapist, driven by an innate desire to foster healing and resilience. My journey, rooted in authenticity and cultural awareness, is a testament to the unwavering commitment to providing a safe haven for individuals seeking support. Shay Talks Therapy is not just a service; it is a reflection of my lifelong dream to make a positive impact, offering a unique space where diversity is celebrated, and every individual's journey is honored. In the city that never sleeps, I am here to ensure that no one faces life's challenges alone, and together, we navigate a path towards well-being and self-discovery.
