Shawna-Gay is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of New York. She earned her BA from Brandeis University in 2023 and MSW from Columbia University in 2025. She is passionate about creating a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe exploring life's challenges and moving toward healing. Her therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.

Shawna-Gay works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional stress. She also offers faith-integrated therapy for clients who wish to incorporate their Christian beliefs into the therapeutic process, honoring spirituality as a source of healing, hope, and personal growth.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices, she tailors treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. She believes therapy should be a collaborative journey where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
