Honest, tactful, passionate, dedicated, caring and insightful are a few words that come to mind when I consider Shakeeta Torres as a colleague, therapist spiritual and community leader. Her passion to see others healthy, whole and as over-comers is the force that causes her to continue growing as a professional and as a spiritual leader. This passion and dedication ensures her clients receive the best services possible.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Torres for a few years. She is skilled in her practice of Christian-based counseling. Mrs. Torres genuinely loves people and is passionate about providing exemplary care to her clients. As a women’s health practitioner, I highly recommend EmPowered2Shift and Mrs. Torres if you are looking for a Christian-based, skilled counselor.

I have had the opportunity to attend a Faith and Grief presentation by Mrs. Shakeeta Torres and it was a phenomenal blend of scriptures, expression of her faith, and her clinical training. This training enhanced awareness about the role spirituality has in coping with grief and how it is reflected in the Bible. Although scriptures were integrated, it was beneficial for those who may carry different faith beliefs. Overall, strong and organized presenter. Well worth it!

In response to Mrs. Torres’s Grief and Faith Workshop was a great presentation. She provided good resources, her presentation was delivered well, and her presentation was well organized. The participants were interactive with questions and connected well with your information and delivery. It was my pleasure to have you present for our NASW Pembroke LPU. I hope you'll join us again for a continuation of your expertise.

Shakeeta has been a huge blessing to my life & benefit to my family. She helped me through childhood trauma, postpartum depression, symptoms of anxiety & just overall lack of motivation & joy. While always professional, talking through things with Shakeeta I always felt like I was just talking to a trustworthy friend. To put the cherry on top she has a level of transparency that allowed me to feel safe enough to share the lowest of low moments in my life because she was relatable.

I struggled for a year with postpartum depression and anxiety. Therapy was my last option in my head as i thought it wasn’t for me. In 6 months time Mrs. Torres helped me do a complete overhaul. She is patient, kind, god fearing, professional and great at her job. Her dedication to helping me come out of my depression helped me find my passion and my purpose in life. I will always appreciate the time i spent healing with her guidance. I truly have such a love and admiration for her. If you are thinking of reaching out to her for therapy, you won’t regret it. The best choice I’ve ever made.

Shakeeta Torres is a great therapist and has been a confidant of mine for over 3 years. Shakeeta has an authentic ability to connect with people and is able to use her skills and psycho education to allow those in need to get to the next and best stage in life. You will grow and shift through the tough times of life with this service.

Review on 35 Tips on How to Build a Private Practice:

Shakeeta did a great job at highlighting what is needed when building a private practice. While I had already began the process I am so glad I was able to get this information because it confirmed that I was on the right path and also mentioned a lot of other things I didn’t consider doing. Shakeeta is very experienced and I’m glad I was able to get direct feedback from a therapist who runs a successful practice. These tips are very practical and it’s jam packed with valuable information. I would definitely recommend this resource and I find myself going back to this check list as the needs in my private practice continue to grow. 

I have been knowing Mrs Torres for over 3 years. From the very first time I encountered her presence I was amazed by her abundance of knowledge, intellect, willingness/desire to help others, and authenticity. As I begin to work with her and get the assistance I needed she showed me how compassionate and caring she was through her work with me. She assisted me with learning the skills that I needed to get to the next level in my life. I was inspired each time she shared her abundance of knowledge with me and encouraged me to keep pushing forward in spite of what I felt like or things looked like. If you are looking for a transformation in life then I would highly recommend that you utilize Mrs. Torres at EmPowered2Shift.
