Shawntay Fenyo, LCMHC, LPC

About me

As a licensed therapist serving North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and cultural sensitivity. I have extensive experience supporting women, young adults, and veterans as they explore challenges like social anxiety, self-love, and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a warm, affirming space where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support individuals in healing from past experiences and building stronger, more fulfilling futures.

With a deep commitment to culturally responsive care, I honor the diverse experiences and identities of those I serve. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, processing grief, or seeking guidance through significant life changes, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
