New page on the calendar and Black History Month 🖤

We've been busy having a time and the fun will continue - alongside the progress and impact. If you've been around for a minute - hey! If you're new here, a little reintroduction -

I’m Shemiah. Still Chicago. Still South Side. Licensed Relationship Therapist and Certified Gottman Therapist - #607 in the world to be exact 🌟

Still inspired to help people create real relationships with more clarity and intention. Still deeply committed to training and supporting future therapists and counselors with quality education and training experiences. Still having a blast with my team and having a positive impact on clients and their communities.

What hasn’t changed - how I show up: grounded, direct, and human. Doing some things well, learning some lessons and still excited about new opportunities for growth. If you’ve grown with me, thank you for being on the journey. And if you’re just tuning in, welcome! And to be continued!

❤️🖤💚

I'm not a New Year's resolution-type person but I usually choose a word for the year. The word serves as a theme and a guide for how I move, set goals and execute.

For 2026, I chose discipline as a means to:
- exude intentionality and purpose
- stay focused and not be distracted, even if things are positive - they can wait.
- be consistent to build patience
- grow a practice for wellness that stays at the top of the list, not just "when I have time"

I'll share updates as the journey progresses. Looking forward to 2026 cuz we ain't running 2025 back!

Happy birthday to 2026 me and 6-year-old me. Same soul. Different chapter. Always cute 😊 Here's to another year of provi...

The holidays are upon us, tribe. Family dynamics can get complicated fast. And when they do, you and your partner or spouse need to feel like you’re on the same team. You don’t have to agree on everything, but you do need a plan, a boundary, and a way to support each other when things start going sideways.

Give this carousel a quick swipe for some simple points to stay connected, when stress begins to rise. If you celebrate, keep in mind that it's YOUR holiday too!
