Shay went to the University of Connecticut where she received her bachelor's degree. She graduated with her masters in clinical counseling psychology from Assumption University. Shay completed her certification in Behavior Analysis from the Florida Institute of Technology.
Shay looks to support clients with a variety of symptoms and diagnoses. Shay loves incorporating spirituality into counseling for clients that practice Christianity--though all are welcome!
Specializes in: Autism, Mood Disorders, Vocational Training, Domestic Violence, ADHD, Trauma, BIPOC/ Race Relations, and Christian Counseling.
Though Shay is a BCBA, these interventions are not behavioral in nature and are not covered by her BACB certification. The services at Grace Every Morning are covered under Shay's LPC certification, and are purely mental health services/ psychotherapy services.
