Peace, I’m Shayne. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist dedicated to providing inclusive and affirming mental health support for individuals within the QTBIPOC community. As a Black TransMasc person, I understand the unique challenges and experiences that QTBIPOC individuals may face, and I strive to create a safe and accepting space for all clients. I have extensive experience working with clients across various identities within the 2SLGBTQ+ folx in addition to couples.
I have expertise in assisting individuals with: navigating coming out and achieving self-acceptance, exploring gender identity and transitioning, addressing QTB2SLGBTQ+ relationship and family dynamics, overcoming specific trauma and discrimination, managing anxiety, depression, and substance use within the Queer community, understanding intersectionality.
As someone who has walked the path of navigating life as a Black queer person, I deeply understand the challenges and complexities you may face. Your journey is unique, but you don't have to walk it alone. Let me offer you the support and guidance you deserve as you navigate your path towards healing and self-discovery.
